#3 Adam Cole did work with WWE long before 2017
Cole made his NXT debut on August 19, 2017, at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, attacking newly crowned NXT Champion Drew McIntyre alongside Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly, establishing himself as a villain in the process. The following month, the trio of Cole, Fish, and O'Reilly came together to form the world-renowned group they are today. Adam Cole signed with the WWE in 2017, but what many fans do not know is that Cole had worked with WWE in prior years.

In 2010 WWE gave Adam Cole a tryout, which was supposed to be for Xavier Woods. As a way to apologize for their mistake, WWE hired Cole as an extra. His most notable work as an extra was in a segment of the July 2, 2010, episode of SmackDown. He was seen drinking with Straight Edge Society's Serena Deeb. Post that, Cole tried out for the Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), the erstwhile developmental territory of the WWE, in 2013. Though things did not work out then, Cole kept working hard to climb his way up the mountain to reach where he is today.
