Adam Cole is reportedly no longer a part of WWE NXT after TakeOver 36. The former NXT Champion faced Kyle O’Reilly in a 2 out of three falls match tonight.

Adam Cole’s original contract with the WWE reportedly ended back in early July. However, he chose to sign an extension that would see him work through SummerSlam Weekend for tonight’s Takeover 36 event. According to PWInsider, his match tonight was his final appearance for the company.

The report states that Cole, who was said to be in contract negotiations with the WWE, has chosen not to sign any extension or a new contract with WWE. As of midnight tonight he will become a free agent and could very well go on to join AEW where his fiancée, Britt Baker,  is currently the Women’s World Champion

As mentioned earlier, Cole’s contract with the WWE expired in July. Instead of walking out of the company he chose to sign a short term deal in order to put O’Reilly over on his way out.

The two met in a two out of three falls match tonight. All three matches had different stipulations.

The first one was a regular match. The second fall was a street fight and the final fall, if it came to that, was a steel cage match.
