NXT hosted a press conference on Saturday ahead of NXT TakeOver: In Your House, and Adam Cole used the opportunity to once again put the Black & Gold brand on a higher pedestal than both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. Cole, who has openly said in the past he wants to go the route of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa and not leave NXT, was asked about jumping to the main roster in the near future. He responded by saying, “Could Adam Cole show up on Raw or SmackDown? Maybe. Would Adam Cole run Raw or SmackDown if he showed up? You’re damn right he would. But I’m really tired of hearing this question over and over again. ‘Adam you’ve accomplished so much. You’ve done everything you can possibly do in NXT.’ No I haven’t. Maybe to you I’ve done everything I can do. Once again being the longest-reigning NXT Champion of all time. That sounds nice, right? And then just move on…
