NXT Champion Adam Cole has revealed that Shawn Michaels has been involved in the scripting of every single one of his fights.

Cole became champ back in June, beating Gargano for the title at NXT Takeover: XXV, and has credited Michaels as his inspiration in the past.

Speaking on a recent episode of Lilian Garcia's Chasing Glory Podcast, the 30-year-old disclosed that Michaels and Michael Hayes have been instrumental in helping put his matches together.

“The two gentlemen involved in producing our matches were Michael Hayes and Shawn Michaels,” he said (h/t Wrestling Inc). “Michael Hayes is great and brilliant. Normally he is involved with producing my matches.

"Shawn Michaels is involved in every one of my matches. At the Performance Center, I go and work with him directly. A bunch of us do. He is kind of like a mentor for so many of us right now at NXT, so he takes a liking and makes sure he has his hand in everything that we are doing."

Cole, who previously talked up the creative freedom he and his NXT colleagues have been getting on the developmental brand, says Michaels lets them come up with their own ideas but will step in if they get stumped.

“Lots of times, the best thing about Shawn Michaels is that he doesn’t tell us, ‘This is what you should do.’ He lets us come up with what we think, and he will be excited about the stuff that we are coming up with,” he continued.

“But randomly, if we are stumped on something and we think something is cool but aren’t crazy about it, in a matter of five seconds, he would give us an idea and it’s amazing and so much better. It’s awesome to have those two to pick their brains. They played a big part in what we created in our match for sure.”

It must be great to have someone whom you consider one of your icons involved in your own storylines and it's no surprise that Cole has become a top star under HBK's tutelage. Maybe we'll see him on the main roster one day, but he doesn't seem keen on moving up and, with NXT coming to TV next month, he will probably be even less inclined.
