ESPN’s Tim Fiorvanti recently published a piece on WE NXT star and Undisputed Era member Adam Cole, which includes comments from both Cole and NXT head Triple H.
Cole, who is set to pull double duty and NXT Takeover New Orleans this weekend, as he will defend the Tag Team Titles against The Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne. Cole will also compete in a Ladder match to crown the first-ever NXT North American Champion.
On Cole’s success so far in NXT and his role in the future of WWE, Triple H had the following to say:
“I think he plays a very big role, probably, in what WWE will be over the [next few]years,” said Triple H. “He’s a very talented young man, lot of charisma. That’s the thing that I would say first. Talented in-ring performer, absolutely, but the charisma and the character, that’s there. Great human being, too. Those are the things that make me happy about his success, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with all the things that are coming his way, and how he takes advantage of them.
“The truth is, we can put the opportunity out there, but what’s done with it and where it goes is on the talent,” Triple H continued. “I say that all the time. We just set the table, and you can say whether it was set right or it was set wrong, but we set the table, and they get the opportunity. Everybody has the chance to knock that opportunity out of the park, and to run with it. He, so far, has. Hopefully he will continue to.”
