But Cole is also popular with the fans, having won them over as well due to his excellent in-ring performances and great charisma. A lot of the time he is playing a smirking heel, which gives off a certain vibe in the eyes of the fans, but in reality, he is a different person, which can often be seen via photographs.

10 Championship Pride

One of Adam Cole's first accomplishments in WWE was becoming the North American Champion, which he achieved at NXT Takeover: New Orleans. On-screen, he was playing a cocky heel at the time, and this is something that he tapped into when he won the gold.

Yet this image showcases a different person behind the scenes, with Cole beaming from ear to ear, proving just how much winning the title means to him. It is always good to see passionate wrestlers and that care, which is the case here with Cole.

9 Bar Rescue

While Adam Cole is well-known amongst wrestling fans, he is also someone that is starting to branch out into other areas of pop culture to become a bigger name with higher market value. That is clear by the fact he is now popping up on other television shows.

He and Britt Baker got the chance to be involved in an episode of "Bar Rescue," heading into one of the bars for Jon Taffer to provide him feedback to then go and make changes to it throughout the episode.

8 Loving Disney World

Something that has become quite popular with wrestlers of Adam Cole's generation is having a love of Walt Disney World and theme parks in general. It's a passion that Cole has, and he can quite often be found in one of the Disney parks during his time off, which shows a different side of him.

Many other wrestlers love the parks too such as Matt Cardona, Cody Rhodes, Johnny Gargano, and Alexa Bliss. It's something that allows Cole to unwind when he's not in the ring, providing a fun day out.

7 Last Second Preparations

Every wrestler has their own preparation technique and a way of getting ready ahead of stepping into the squared circle, and Adam Cole is no different in that respect. Here he can be seen before heading out to compete for NXT, with the last-second moment being all about getting his wrist tape on.

Tape is something that plenty of wrestlers wear, so seeing it get applied is an interesting situation, and it is part of Cole's routine that he does before getting into the ring, with this helping him.

6 Bullet Club Day

A lot of wrestling fans may have only been exposed to Adam Cole because of NXT and AEW, therefore they aren't as well-versed in the history of his career and what he has been able to accomplish. A large part of his success came down to being involved in the Bullet Club faction in Ring Of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

That can be seen in this photograph with the group together long before AEW was created, which is where many of the members now reside. But it provides a brilliant throwback shot to showcase just how far all of the wrestlers involved have come.

5 Friendship With KO

Another wrestler that Adam Cole is good friends with is Kevin Owens, with the two men having a history together in the Mount Rushmore faction. That bond has stuck with them, even when they've been in different companies, which is clear from when they were hanging out as World Champions.

But when Cole joined WWE it was a chance for them to spend more time together, even with KO being on the main roster and Cole in NXT. These pictures show the bond that they have, which is brilliant to see from a fan's perspective.

4 Respect From Dustin Rhodes

Winning over the respect of legends in the wrestling business is not something that takes place overnight, but Adam Cole has certainly been able to do that throughout his wrestling career. That is especially true with Dustin Rhodes, who has an enormous amount of love for Cole.

These pictures show just how proud Dustin appears to be of Cole during his North American Championship victory, with the former Goldust being there waiting for him post-match. Nowadays they can share a roster in AEW, which has no doubt made their bond even stronger.

3 His Romantic Side

On-screen, Adam Cole plays an arrogant heel who is easy to despise as he has few likable traits, yet in real life he is different and that is clear from his relationship with Britt Baker. Fans get to see Cole's more romantic side through pictures of him and Britt and the connection that they have.

Whether they're celebrating Christmas or just hanging out, the two of them are quickly becoming a favorite couple amongst fans, with audiences reacting to their relationship well.

2 Da Party

Those who don't watch Xavier Woods' UpUpDownDown YouTube channel will have no clue about Da Party, but it is four very close friends who love wrestling and video games. Woods would often bring Adam Cole, Cesaro, and Tyler Breeze onto his show to play games and Uno.

1 Sitting Under The Learning Tree

A big part of Adam Cole's time in NXT was spent being able to learn directly from Triple H, who instantly took a liking to him. The Game pushed Cole heavily and helped make him a star in the wrestling business in doing so. He believed in Cole and took the time to help and guide him during his WWE career.

Cole has praised Triple H heavily since leaving the company, making it clear that the respect and love were a mutual feeling between them. This picture captures their relationship perfectly, with Cole looking to absorb as much information as possible.
