Figured this might be a good thread to discuss all the scheming/subtext/potential storylines surrounding Adam Cole.
The easy answer is that he's aiming for the AEW World Championship, a shot he's likely getting next month at Revolution. Aside from that, there was animosity almost instantly with Omega as a callback to when Cole was booted from the Bullet Club, and now his relationship with the Bucks has been slightly rocky due to the recent arrivals of reDRagon and Jay White. As the topic says - what is Cole's endgame here?
Was he always going to tear the Elite apart from the inside as revenge? Is he forming his own faction for a larger war? Was his best plan to "Starscream" his buddies by inviting the ultimate Starscream in Jay White (feel like there are holes in that idea)? Where does this all go?

Some part of it has to be building to his group (whether that's just Undisputed Era or also with more Bullet Club guys like Jay White or even pulling in NXT people) vs. the Bucks and Omega and whoever they get as allies in Blood and Guts.

This is what Cole hopes to accomplish :
Adam Cole wins the AEW World Championship. reDragon wins the Tag Team Championship. Jay White wins the TNT Championship. Britt Baker remains the Women's Champion.

Win the title, lead a super heel stable alongside Britt, and take it to/destroy The Elite.
I think the latter comes first and the former will come eventually.

I think what he really wants to do is join the Dark Order.

I feel like he's hedging his bets and looking out for himself, and is willing to play his own friends against each other for his benefit. It will eventually blow up in his face, however.

Well, one of the first things he wanted to do when he was brought back from the dead on BTE was to go have a beer with Hangman, so maybe that's all that segment was.

Yeah I'm assuming he wants to lead a super stable but it'll end up as Cole, Redragon and White Vs Bucks, Kenny and Hangman

So Kenny will return, revealing he's been collecting the Infinity Stones. The Elite must team up with Dark Order, CM Punk and Mox to stop him. Kenny manages to accomplish his goal and uses the stones to disintegrate half of the AEW roster, including the entire Dark Order (save for John Silver and Anna Jay). Five years later, the surviving Elite members (joined by Silver, Anna and Darby - who skates out of the Quantum Realm after Sting was also disintegrated) travel back in time to collect the stones before Kenny does.
Eventually, Kenny and the New Japan roster battle the resurrected AEW roster. The climactic showdown sees Kenny wielding the infinity gauntlet.
"Oh Adam. You should've known that I was inevitable. Now goodbye. Goodnight. And..."
He goes to snap, but nothing happens. The stones are gone! He looks over, Cole has them!
"And I'm Adam Cole BAY BAY!!
BOOM!!!"
Adam Cole snaps his fingers and closes the Forbidden Door, sacrificing himself in the process...

If we're being real, he'll lose to Hangman at Revolution, then we'll get the whole Hangman, Bucks vs. Cole, ReDragon feud with Jay White maybe coming in and out at times and then Omega comes back to help Hangman and the Bucks out against Cole. I just hope when that happens Hangman doesn't end up playing second fiddle to Omega in the perception game.

I also think Jerry Lawler and Doug Gilbert as Thanos will somehow be involved.

It’s just wild to me he’s the next in line for a title match. The dude has beaten nobody of note besides OC. I’m an Adam Cole fan, but he should have beaten some bigger names to get a shot.
