#8 Adam Cole

The undersized Ring of Honor import has looked quite strong in NXT. He and the Undisputed Era won the first Wargames in nearly twenty years.
A stable of technical wrestlers has never been tried before, at least not as heels. Adam Cole is clearly the lead star in the Undisputed Era. Will he dominate the wrestling scene in the coming year?
Chances of dominating 2018:
Not so good. Though Adam Cole has been successful in NXT, he is likely to be on that brand for most if not all of 2018. If you're not on one of the main brands, you're not in a position to dominate as wrestler of the year. That isn't to say Adam Cole can't pull it off; It just doesn't seem to be in the cards for him. Oh well, there's always 2019!
