Cole's contract expired in July following NXT: The Great American Bash. Cole did not sign another long-term deal but instead signed an extension with WWE, which requires him to work for the promotion through SummerSlam weekend. According to the most recent report, Adam Cole has yet to sign a long-term deal with WWE.

Adam Cole is currently involved in a heated feud with Kyle O'Reilly on the Black and Gold Brand which reportedly the primary reason for Cole signing an extension with WWE. Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT noted that Cole intends to finish his feud with O'Reilly and put him over at NXT TakeOver 36.

Cole and O'Reilly are currently 1-1 in NXT. WWE is seemingly building their feud to come to a conclusion at NXT TakeOver 36 with a third and final match in this rivalry. It could also quite possibly be Adam Cole's last match in WWE.
