Adam Cole's rich history with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks dates back to their Bullet Club days. Cole and The Bucks also teamed up to form the "Superkliq" sub-faction back in the day.

Appearing on The Kurt Angle Show, the former NXT Champion opened up about his genuine friendship with fellow AEW stars:
"All three of us are very, very close friends. Like we talk outside of wrestling, we talk about things besides wrestling like there’s like a genuine friendship there. So anytime you get to do anything we’re with people that you’re very close with and people that you care about it makes that so much more special.”
The 33-year-old further talked about the love and passion for wrestling he shares with The Elite:
“We all have that mentality of like you know we eat sleep and breathe wrestling and we love it we want to we get so excited about every single match we have together or a different promo idea or whatever like we’re just so so into it together. So I’d say like wrestling nerds." (H/T: Inside The Ropes)
