Possible Spoiler Debut for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn
Dave Metlzer discussed Adam Cole’s status in the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Live and indicated that he could be arriving to the company any time now.
Meltzer speculates that Cole will head to the NXT brand and could possibly debut at the upcoming NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III event. Cole has been rumored to debut for the company ever since he let his contract with Ring of Honor run out on May 1st.
There is a new policy within WWE were talents from ROH are not allowed to debut for the company until a 90-period runs out. With Takeover taking place on August 19th, this would meet the required waiting period for his debut.
We will keep you updated if we receive any other information on Cole’s status.

With Vic is on the rise within the company, the belief is that he is the perfect replacement. Since arriving in the company, Vic has worked on WWE Main Event and NXT in a short time. The company is very high on his work and that’s why Vic has been chosen as Tom’s replacement.
Tom posted the following on Twitter regarding Vic’s new role on weekly WWE television:
