Adam Cole may be leaving NXT and WWE behind following his loss at NXT TakeOver 36. Following the conclusion of his match, The Young Bucks teased at a potential AEW run for Cole.
It was previously reported that Cole's WWE contract was expiring and that he had agreed to sign a short extension through NXT TakeOver 36. With no further news about Cole's contract status, it seems he may be done with WWE.

The current AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks, often use their Twitter account to tease big news and this time it may be their reunion with Cole. Following Cole's 2-out-of-3 falls match against Kyle O'Reilly at TakeOver 36, The Young Bucks tweeted for fans to check out their new Twitter bio. There, fans will find a link to a YouTube clip titled "The Most Infamous Seances in History." The seance is a very subtle reference to Cole. The Young Bucks star alongside Kenny Omega on their YouTube channel "Being The Elite," where fans can watch their adventures both inside and outside of the ring. The channel features a number of faces that are familiar to wrestling fans, especially those who are under contract with AEW. Cole was a featured star on the channel in 2017 prior to signing with WWE. Following his signing, he was "killed off" of the series and could not make any further appearances.
Episode 54 "A Curtain Call" of the channel features Omega's plot to poison Cole in order to write him off of future episodes. Following the rivalry the channel was building between Cole, Omega, and The Young Bucks, it was a fitting and comedic conclusion. With the Young Bucks' seance reference, it seems they may be attempting to get in contact with the Cole they've killed on their channel.
Following Cole's match with O'Reilly where Cole only won the second fall, many fans began to question what the loss may mean for Cole going forward. If Cole has not signed an extension, it could mean that he is being prepared for the main roster debut on either RAW or Smackdown. With a number of former WWE talent already having made the switch to AEW, Cole may be the newest one to join the roster.
Prior to CM Punk's return to the ring at AEW Rampage, his appearance had been teased online and on-air for weeks. The Young Bucks' tweet referencing their YouTube channel is subtle, but for long-term fans, it suggests they may not have to go long without seeing Adam Cole in the squared circle.
