Adam Cole made his AEW debut a few years back. The 35-year-old was signed to WWE from 2017 to 2021. In the Stamford-based company, he predominantly performed in NXT, where he won the NXT Championship once and was the inaugural NXT North American Champion. Furthermore, he is also a former NXT Tag Team Champion.
Cole is one of the most popular performers in the modern wrestling landscape. Even before his World Wrestling Entertainment stint, he was a well-known figure in Ring of Honor and the independent circuit. The Panama City Playboy has been in the business for the past 17 years and at the upcoming Dynasty Pay-Per-View, he will celebrate the anniversary of his debut. The former WWE star revealed this amazing news via Instagram. Numerous wrestlers congratulated him on his achievement, including WWE SamackDown star Tommaso Ciampa.
"Happy anniversary, BayBay! 🖤" read the former WWE Tag Team Champion's comment under Cole's post.
