Adam Cole is the former leader of The Undisputed Era and NXT's longest-reigning champion. He was Triple H's top guy and was the face of NXT. He was NXT's second Triple Crown Champion. It was reported that if Adam re-signed with WWE, he would've been promoted to the main roster as Keith Lee's manager. Adam wasn't a fan of this idea and didn't renew his contract.

He made his debut at AEW All Out 2021. After Kenny Omega retained his AEW Championship against Christian, Adam joined Omega and The Young Bucks. Following the arrival of Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish, Adam Cole has been in a dilemma about which side to choose.
