One WWE Hall of Famer has given some high praise to a top NXT superstar.

That legend is DDP (Diamond Dallas Page) and that NXT star is NXT North American Champion Adam Cole. DDP was a recent guest on TSN 1050 Toronto to discuss various topics and in this interview, he compared Cole to WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.

DDP stated that people are comparing Cole to Michaels, which he agrees as he thinks that he could live up to that comparison down the line. He noted that for people to believe he’s Michaels right now is the same thing as people saying that young kids in the NBA have to ability to be Michael Jordan and that Cole is in the same situation due to his ability, the work ethic, and knowledge.

“He’s gonna be just a huge superstar up in the WWE. He’s getting to work with Shawn Michaels down there as well.”

Cole is slated to defend the NXT North American Title against Ricochet at the upcoming NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV event that takes place on Saturday, August 18, 2018 in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center and will air on the WWE Network.
