Vince McMahon Reportedly Wanted Adam Cole To Beat Daniel Bryan Clean On Smackdown

Last night on Friday Night Smackdown, Adam Cole defended his NXT Championship against former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan in what was undeniably a cracking TV match.

This was not only the first time a Daniel Bryan vs. Adam Cole match has happened in a WWE/NXT ring, but the first time the two have ever squared off in any wrestling ring.

According to reports, Triple H was very influential backstage for last night’s TV taping, reportedly bringing the idea of an NXT invasion to Vince McMahon.

However, it should be noted that Smackdown was still a ‘Vince show’, and according to Dave Meltzer, it was actually Vince’s idea to have Adam Cole beat Daniel Bryan clean in the main event.

Last night’s show was very well-received by fans, with the NXT invasion of a main roster show being something many people have been fantasy booking for years now.

Triple H invited Raw and Smackdown Superstars to NXT this week, so perhaps we could see another main roster vs. NXT dream match on Wednesday night.
