#3. AEW star Adam Cole

Before joining AEW, Adam Cole spent a few years in WWE, where he had the opportunity to work with his idol, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.

Although he retired from in-ring action a few years ago, Michaels is still working in WWE. He's now Triple H's right-hand guy in NXT.

Cole had a lot of success under Michaels' supervision. He won the NXT Championship, North American Title, and the NXT Tag Team Championships to become the second-ever NXT Triple Crown Champion.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Cole spoke about his relationship with The Heartbreak Kid.

"I’ve been so open with how much of a relationship I formed with Shawn Michaels. He is an idol of mine. A guy I look at as the greatest professional wrestler of all-time. To have the chance to work under him was really cool," he said.

Cole left WWE last August after his contract expired. On September 5, he made his AEW debut at the All Out pay-per-view. The 32-year-old recently teamed up with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks to defeat Jurassic Express, Christian Cage, and Bryan Danielson on AEW Dynamite.
