He has not publicly commented on his departure.

Cole was signed by WWE in 2025. He competed on the second episode of EVOLVE and the third season of WWE LFG. In his debut promo, Cole described himself as “A top of the class Brown University graduate, and an all league defensive end football player,” flaunting his Ivy leagie intellect.

He last wrestled at the WWE NXT live event on August 21, losing to Shiloh Hill.

Fightful will provide more details on Cole’s departure when they are known.
