5 Challengers for NXT Champion Karrion Kross

#2 Adam Cole sets his sights on regaining the NXT Championship

Adam Cole put Pat McAfee in his rearview mirror

It's a new day for Adam Cole, baybay! The Panama City Playboy seems to have turned a corner in his NXT career after taking down Pat McAfee "for the brand." Cole and McAfee put on one of the greatest wrestling matches for "outsiders" at NXT TakeOver: XXX, giving us yet another huge moment in the career of Cole.

With that taken care of, and the Undisputed Era still looking to take back over the Black an Gold brand once again, Adam Cole may need to face off against the horrifying Karrion Kross.

Considering the fact that Kross has absolutely demolished the majority of the competition that's come his way, including the giant Dominik Dijakovic, it's hard to believe that Cole could stand toe to toe with the NXT Champion. Still, wasn't that the whole crux behind his feud with McAfee? After all, their match sprang from a conflict on McAfee's podcast where the retired NFL punter went after Cole for his size.

Let's not forget the fact that Keith Lee, the man who took Kross to his limit, was also nearly beaten by Adam Cole back in July. Adam Cole claims that he's the best, not just in NXT, but in professional wrestling. If he truly is, maybe he has what it takes to topple Karrion Kross?
