ROH Champion Adam Cole Talks Wanting To Join WWE One Day & His Friendship With Kevin Owens

Ring of Honor World Champion Adam Cole was recently interviewed by Metro UK. Cole spoke about how he see’s himself joining WWE one day and having his WrestleMania moment. The two-time Ring of Honor World Champion also talks about his close friendship with the WWE Universal Champion, Kevin Owens.

When asked if the rumors were true about having on open offer to join WWE once his contract with ROH ends, Cole answered:

“This is the most honest answer I can give because [I get] ask[ed] that question all the time.

“If I was to tell you that I don’t want to have a Wrestlemania moment someday I would 100% be lying to you. I see that for myself one day, but timing is so important in a career like this.

“For me right now, after just winning the ROH title again and starting my career in NJPW, I need to focus all my energy on this right now, because if I start focusing on wanting to go to WWE, I’m not going to be focusing on what I have in front of me.

“Honest to God I’m not even thinking about WWE right now, I’m focused totally on the next few months with my ROH contract and with NJPW, and when the time comes to think about what happens next, a lot of options will be weighed out.”

Cole’s comments on his friendship with Kevin Owens:

“Me and Kevin are really good friends and he was always the guy in ROH and PWG who was always really helpful to me not just in pro wrestling but as a friend. When he went to WWE that friendship stayed, and we talk all the time and keep in contact.

“Kevin happened to be in Baltimore for RAW and I was there shooting some stuff for ROH television. We ended up hanging out and thought it would be a cool idea because we were both champions to take a picture together.

“Although we figured that people would react to the picture, neither of us thought it would blow up as much as it did and it’s still all over the place. It was mainly two friends getting a permanent memory of our success at that time.”
