Despite WWE's reported attempts at re-signing Adam Cole to a contract, today is the day that his contract expires with the company. There are many rumors about where Cole could wind up next, with the theory of many fans being that he may be AEW bound due to how many connections he has in that promotion.

One AEW star in particular, Matt Hardy, had high praise for Adam Cole on Twitter.

#TBT 2014 Lots of buzz on @AdamColePro right now. I’m not surprised at all, he’s one of the elite in this industry. Let’s not forget - The #KingMaker Big Money Matt was his original mentor in ROH, of course he’s gonna be a rock star. pic.twitter.com/JBM6gH51Gw
