Adam Cole On Wrestling At EVOLVE This Weekend, Tensions Erupt Backstage At WWE Performance Center (VIDEO)

Adam Cole On Wrestling At EVOLVE This Weekend

NXT Superstar Adam Cole will be wrestling at this weekend’s EVOLVE shows in Georgia and North Carolina.

Cole talked about what the opportunity means to him, “This weekend, in Atlanta and North Carolina, I get the chance to test myself against, not just EVOLVE’s best, but independent wrestling’s best in Shane Strickland and Darby Allin, this weekend at EVOLVE Wrestling. When I said 2019 would be the year of The Undisputed Era, I wasn’t just talking about NXT. I was talking about all over the world, so Shane and Darby you have the chance to prove yourself against one of, if not the very best that NXT has to offer.”

Cole’s mission is two-fold, “I look forward to coming to EVOLVE to scout, to kind of see what independent wrestling, what EVOLVE Wrestling has to offer.”
