Adam Cole Describes First Year In WWE As "Just Wild," Talks Kevin Owens Supporting Him

Adam Cole recently spoke with Benjamin Raven of MLive.com to promote tonight’s NXT live event near the Detroit, Michigan area. Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On describing his first year with WWE as “just wild”: “I always think back to that first night in Brooklyn, where I debuted, and it was this total surprise. I just remember thinking, ‘I hope they care, I hope they remember me.’ The way they embraced me that night, I knew it was the start of something special.”

On support from Kevin Owens: “Kevin has always gone above and beyond in being supportive of me in my journey. To have him there to support me was awesome. Talk about another friendship that will never go away.”

On believing in the NXT brand and not going straight to the WWE main roster as part of the RAW or SmackDown Live brands: “NXT is something I really believe in and still do. This is made up of young passionate people that want to make a name for themselves. I wanted to be a part of WWE, and part of NXT first as if I went to Raw or SmackDown right away I would always wonder what NXT would have been like. The coaches, the team and hands-on approach is really cool and I will be able to look back see how happy I was to be a part of this.”
