From obscurity to showtime: 7 Superstars that could do major things in 2018

#2 Adam Cole

It's Adam Cole, BAY-BAY!

For the past three years, Adam Cole became one of the most talked about potential WWE Superstars in history. There was a great divide amongst fans regarding the status of the former ROH World Champion. While many hoped and believed WWE would land this indie darling, there were just as many pessimistic fans who seriously doubted we would ever see Cole on a WWE roster.

But when Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish made their NXT debut, the buzz only increased, in regards to the potential signing of Adam Cole. Now, the three are not only together on the NXT roster, but they are also together as one cohesive, destructive unit - The Undisputed Era.

I believe it will be a relatively short amount of time before The Undisputed Era makes their main roster debut. A potential feud with The Shield would be absolutely electric! If the company could put this plan into action sooner than later, we could potentially see a history 6-man tag match just in time for Wrestlemania.

We could make all the predictions we want, but the fact of the matter is, Adam Cole is a singles Superstar and once the corners get ironed out, Cole could very well be THE guy to take the throne in 2018.
