While not confirmed by the man himself, a moment during a recent Adam Cole stream on Twitch suggests he received news about WWE's latest releases on camera.

WWE continued its recent spate of releasing Superstars while citing budget cuts late last week. Another 13 Superstars and a writer were let go, with Breezango, Killian Dain, and Marina Shafir among those who were wished well in their future endeavors. Fans and peers alike have been reacting to the releases over the weekend.

When exactly various people discover this sort of news remains unclear. Outlets started to report more releases were coming hours before news of who had been let go was revealed. As for Adam Cole, the former NXT Champion appeared to find out live on Twitch. Reddit user Haltonn highlighted a moment during Cole's Friday stream where he pauses to check his phone.

Cole takes his phone out of his pocket just before the 2:02:00 mark during the stream and can be seen checking and replying to messages. While it hasn't been confirmed that was the moment he learned more Superstars had been released, the times appear to line up. He's silent for a while, and when he eventually remembers he is still live he struggles to snap out of it and appears a little shaken by whatever he just saw on his phone.

A number of those released last week were NXT stars Cole may well have been quite close with. However, the release that may have hurt him the most was Shafir's. Even though Cole and Roderick Strong aren't seeing eye to eye on TV anymore, the pair are probably still friends behind the scenes. Shafir is Strong's wife so is likely quite close with Cole too.

As for Cole being on Twitch, even though main roster stars are still on hiatus from the platform, the same doesn't apply to NXT stars. One of a few reasons Cole is probably in no hurry to trade in his black and gold contract for a red or a blue one. That choice may be taken out of his hands relatively soon though as news that the next draft is on the horizon continues to do the rounds.
