Adam Cole is a walking highlight reel whose name echoes through the halls of modern wrestling history—and yes, that includes PROGRESS Wrestling. While his time in the company was short, Cole made every second count, delivering world-class performances with signature charisma, poise, and precision.

Cole first stepped into a PROGRESS ring at Chapter Ten (24 November 2013), defeating Mark Haskins inside The Garage with trademark confidence and in-ring savvy. He returned in 2015 for a star-powered tag team showdown alongside Roderick Strong, challenging The Sumerian Death Squad for the PROGRESS Tag Team Titles at Chapter 21. But it was Chapter 40 that cemented his place in PROGRESS lore—defeating Will Ospreay in a main event that fused technical mastery with undeniable star power.

Beyond PROGRESS, Adam Cole’s legacy is globally recognised. A record-setting three-time ROH World Champion and inaugural NXT North American Champion, Cole led factions like The Kingdom and the iconic Undisputed ERA, shaping the identity of modern wrestling’s hottest brands. His NXT reign included a record-breaking 403 days as NXT Champion, facing off against the likes of Johnny Gargano, Finn Bálor and Tommaso Ciampa. Now a key figure in AEW, Cole has headlined pay-per-views, battled the best of the elite, and continues to evolve as one of wrestling’s top stars.

He didn’t need dozens of matches to make a mark on PROGRESS.

One smirk. One boom. One superkick to remember.
