Adam Cole retained the NXT Championship against Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover: Toronto. Here are some options for Cole’s next challenger for the NXT Title.
5) Adam Cole vs Keith Lee
Someone who I don’t think has been given an opportunity to shine yet in NXT is Keith Lee. I would love to see him challenge Adam Cole for the NXT Championship at some point soon.
Lee has been with NXT for a few years now but still hasn’t wrestled on a Takeover special. In my opinion, the guy is way too talented to keep missing these cards.
Adam Cole vs Keith Lee would be a really fun match for the NXT Championship. I am confident that Lee would make a bunch of new fans if he was given a chance to shine against someone like Cole on a Takeover special.
If they don’t want to give him an NXT Title shot, at least get Lee on one of the next Takeover cards.
4) Adam Cole vs Roderick Strong
I absolutely love the Undisputed Era as a faction. While saying that, I wouldn’t mind seeing Roderick Strong challenge Adam Cole for the NXT Championship.
From a storyline standpoint, they could do an angle where Strong and Cole fight over leadership of the Undisputed Era. Or, they could just do a storyline where Strong is sick of being overshadowed and leaves the group.
If this did happen, it would make for a really strong program for the NXT Championship. I am sure that Cole and Strong would put on a really good match if given the chance.
I am skeptical on this one though because I love the Undisputed Era as a faction. Still, I won’t rule out Strong as a potential challenger for the NXT Title.
