Adam Cole Reaches Impressive Milestone

That’s a milestone. NXT has gone from the WWE minor league to one of the biggest and more important promotions in the world. They have produced some of the most important stars around today with their Takeover series being nothing short of revered. As usual, NXT is built around titles, with the NXT Title being at the top of the chart. Now, that title has a new milestone.

There has never been a group as dominant in NXT as the Undisputed Era. The team pulled off a very rare feat in wrestling as they held all four major men’s titles in the promotion at the same time. Adam Cole is the group’s leader and currently the only one with a title. As the reigning NXT Champion, Cole is at the top of the company and it turns out that he has reached a point no one ever has before.

As on Friday, Cole has become the longest reigning NXT Champion, reaching a reign of 293 days and surpassing Finn Balor’s record of 292 days. Cole has held the title since Takeover: XXV on June 1, 2019 when he defeated Johnny Gargano to become the new champion. It is not clear when Cole will defend the title next, though he has been challenged by the Velveteen Dream for a match at some point in the future.

Cole has been a fighting champion. Check out some of his reign:

Opinion: This is something you could have seen coming for a good while now and it is cool to see Cole get this kind of accomplishment under his (shiny gold) belt. The Undisputed Era has been around for a long time now and it is nice to see them achieve this much success. They seem destined for the main roster and Cole is going to be more than ready to take on the biggest names in WWE. Good for him for reaching a pretty hard to reach mark.

Who will take the title from Cole? How will he do on the main roster? Let us know in the comments below.
