When Adam Cole's contract actually expires, status for AEW Dynamite/Rampage
Added 2021-08-24 16:11:59 +0000 UTCAdam Cole had what appeared to be his swan song on NXT Sunday night, and as Fightful mentioned, he had not signed a new contract as of this past weekend.
We've learned more about the immediate future of Adam Cole following his NXT Takeover 36 loss to Kyle O'Reilly. If you're hoping to see Cole pop up on this week's episodes of AEW Dynamite or Rampage, that won't be happening. Fightful has learned that Cole's current WWE contract (with the short-term extension) is actually up on Friday, August 27. With All Elite Wrestling filming both Rampage and Dynamite on Wednesday, that would make it impossible for him to legally appear. We've been told by WWE sources that they expect another offer within the company to come Cole's way this week.

Curious to see if we will have an update on this since the Mattel announcement from WWE today with Cole in it.

2021-08-25 21:30:35 +0000 UTCI have to assume this all boils down to whether or not WWE would let him keep his Twitch if he’s on RAW or Smackdown. He said it’s not going away.

2021-08-25 12:31:50 +0000 UTCHaving a sneaky feeling he might show up on Smackdown this week

2021-08-25 04:27:23 +0000 UTCAm I a total mark for thinking his first shirt should say “AEW Bay Bay” with ghost emojis? 👻

2021-08-25 03:58:36 +0000 UTCAdam….stay with WWE so you can be Karrion’s Smash to his Ax. What in the world WAS that garb Kross was wearing on Monday???
Jamie Ellis
2021-08-25 03:24:50 +0000 UTCWhen WWE realizes to these guys its not about money but creative freedom. They can get the money working in AEW NJPW and Impact as well as Mexico that WWE will pay them. They want creative freedom which WWE does not give

2021-08-25 00:30:08 +0000 UTCNot necessarily if he was moving to either SD or Raw...
Doug McCloud
2021-08-24 20:50:35 +0000 UTCIf it's true that he's done with NXT, then wouldn't that make the Triple H/HBK connection a moot point?

2021-08-24 20:25:04 +0000 UTCAdam is streaming on Twitch as I'm typing this, and Fuego Del Sol launched a raid on his channel when he stopped streaming for the day.
Doug McCloud
2021-08-24 20:21:30 +0000 UTCHe does have a separate Twitter for streaming but only announces as he starts streaming over on Twitch. He is supposed to stream today, tomorrow, thursday, nothing for friday as of yet. He said this on yesterday's stream.
Ashley
2021-08-24 18:29:19 +0000 UTCDoes anyone follow his Twitch regularly? The reason I ask is that he has nothing scheduled in the future. Is that normal for him or does he usually post a schedule of upcoming streams.

2021-08-24 17:50:23 +0000 UTCDunno why America doesn't take from European sports and just refer to them as contract extensions. Bugs me in other US sports, too.
Going back in time to the St Louis territory so I can be on Wrestling At The Chase... Richardson
2021-08-24 17:40:37 +0000 UTCPeople need to learn the difference between “resign” and “re-sign.”

2021-08-24 17:05:51 +0000 UTCIt’s possible he could get a no cut clause and Twitch exemption if Vince really does like him as reported.
Trey Sherman
2021-08-24 17:02:36 +0000 UTCCould appear everywhere, because his contract expire. Therefore; no more non-compete contract.
2021-08-24 17:00:40 +0000 UTCBoo
Brian
2021-08-24 16:59:41 +0000 UTCThe public face of WWE booking and general media dealings has been a shambolic way of them showing him they want him to sign a new deal beyond what dollar amount they can offer. He should, and hopefully will, run a mile from this company. Beyond the core audience and shareholders they are completely inept.
David Pick
2021-08-24 16:59:11 +0000 UTCCole should take the guaranteed AEW money...WWE could offer more but they can/will release you whenever.
Keith Kripke
2021-08-24 16:58:59 +0000 UTCI high doubt he will resign. There’s too many of his loved ones with AEW. Plus with the recent social media teases, it just solidify it more for me.
James Thomas O'Roark
2021-08-24 16:44:33 +0000 UTCSo what I'm reading is séance episode to bring him back from the dead on BTE next Monday confirmed? :P
Patrick Henson
2021-08-24 16:36:57 +0000 UTCWould be a huge mistake for him to re-sign. He may get a big offer but with these recent releases, they could easily change their minds down the line and release him as well. They’d honestly would have to make him WWE’s top babyface because majority of their top stars are heels.
Ricky Omega
2021-08-24 16:23:21 +0000 UTCI hope he doesn't re-sign. He's better off outside that company
Stan Grubb
2021-08-24 16:21:01 +0000 UTCCole look at the helmet and drip stick. Ya know Vince will pair ya up with Michael Cole or worse dance with Pat MacfeeCome to AEW.
2021-08-24 16:20:56 +0000 UTCHe'll resign with WWE
david leary
2021-08-24 16:20:33 +0000 UTCThey don't need him to debut right now anyway. Space 'em out. They've got Punk at the PPV, Danielson at the Arthur Ashe show, if they do sign Bray, they can afford to space these guys out for the next couple months to continue building momentum.

2021-08-24 16:19:46 +0000 UTCCole to Smackdown Smackdown
2021-08-24 16:19:11 +0000 UTCI want Adam Cole in AEW so badly I can’t even put it to the right word lol
2021-08-24 16:18:34 +0000 UTCCole as the new better “Adam” in the elite to stop Page from getting to Kenny in a while.
Mister Oohlala
2021-08-24 16:18:19 +0000 UTCLook at just what happened to Karrion Kross, Adam run
2021-08-24 16:18:17 +0000 UTCIf he does not re-sign does that mean he could appear anywhere after the 27th or would he have a non-compete?
Asa Gray
2021-08-24 16:17:57 +0000 UTCGaaaah!!!! Don't do it Adam! Anywhere but WWE!
Will Landrum
2021-08-24 16:17:39 +0000 UTCAdam cost the Bucks the tag titles for killing him
Chris Rains
2021-08-24 16:16:52 +0000 UTCJust say no Adam!! Get to AEW.

Randy Moss
2021-08-24 16:14:59 +0000 UTCAll out sounds like a good way to debut 👌🏽
Arthur Lopez
2021-08-24 16:14:52 +0000 UTCDon't fall for it Cole, make the damn jump
Reece Hayes
2021-08-24 16:14:23 +0000 UTCit better be a good offer.

Jason Sanchez
2021-08-24 16:13:59 +0000 UTCIs AEW going to start taping Rampage with Dynamite? Or is it more of a one time thing?
