Adam Cole recently revealed that even though he had a great run in WWE, he came to AEW because he wanted to work with a group of people that he loved being around. He further stated that the fans were a big part of his decision as well.
Adam Cole shocked the system when he made his AEW debut last night at All Out. He further swerved the audience by re-joining The Elite after over four years away and proceeded to attack Jungle Boy and the Jurassic Express.
On the AEW All Out post-show Media Scrum, Adam Cole opened up about his thoughts leading into his decision to join AEW.
"I've been here countless times to support Britt and hang out with the crew and it's just the best crew. The shows are amazing, the fans are amazing. But at the same time I had really built a reputation for myself there as well. But I knew, in my heart, pretty early on that I wanted to come here. It's no knock whatsoever on them [WWE]. I had a very excellent four-year experience but I wanted to come back and work with a crew who I love being around 24/7, a crew that is just as passionate about pro wrestling as I am and fans that feel the exact same way as we do. So, making the decision was a fairly easy one", said Adam Cole
