Adam Cole has spent the past 372 days as NXT Champion, a run that has solidified his place on a list as one of wrestling’s most complete in-ring performers.
Cole defends his NXT title tonight against Velveteen Dream in a “Last Chance Backlot Brawl” match at TakeOver: In Your House, another cinematic take on pro wrestling. And whether he extends his run as champ or drops the belt, Cole has built something far more meaningful during his title reign.
“The greatest thing I’ve ever done in wrestling is my work with The Undisputed Era,” said Cole, who is 30-year-old Austin Jenkins.
