Former WWE NXT Superstar and new AEW signee Adam Cole recently appeared on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast. The former NXT Champion discussed several topics during his time on the show, including where he wants to wrestle outside of All Elite.
“New Japan is something I’d like to do more of” Adam Cole revealed. “So I had done a fair amount of tours, it was almost 10. I got to wrestle at Koruakan Hall and the Tokyo Dome and Sumo Hall and all these really cool venues.
“I enjoyed my time there and right as I was kind of find my footing there or gain momentum, that was when I left” Cole noted. “The chance to go back there would be really cool.
“I think back so fondly of my time in ROH. PWG, I had some of the times of my life there. I got my start in CZW, which is where I met Jon [Moxley]. There’s a bunch of really cool things that I would like to do. Independent wrestling is a blast.”

It has not been confirmed if Adam Cole’s AEW contract will allow him to work dates outside of All Elite. Several AEW stars have clauses that mean they can work on the independent scene, New Japan and beyond.
New Japan does have a working relationship with All Elite, and they will be looking to leverage that as much as possible once the pandemic calms down further and international travel isn’t as strict.
