Michael Cole Has 8 Years Remaining On WWE Deal

The latest WWE contract Michael Cole signed with the company will take him into 'retirement age', the announcer recently revealed.

During an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, Cole discussed the deal he signed last year, saying:

"Just signed a brand new contract with the company. So I'm going to be here for a number of years. The company really made me feel, you know, really for the first time that I was really important to this place."

Cole later clarified that he had signed an eight-year contract.

Asked what it was about the deal that made him feel important and why he put pen to paper on such a long-term agreement, Cole said:

"The paycheque is part of it but the new regime had a lot to do with it. When I went to sign the new deal, I sat down with my wife and I'm 58 years old now and I'm like, 'They want to get me to retirement age'. And this is because we had talked about me getting out of this for a long while now just because of the travel and everything else. And she was like, 'You got to do it. This is your legacy. Like, you're going to be miserable if you don't finish this up the way you want to finish it up'. And she was great about it. So, she was one hundred per cent on board with it and so I'm here for a while".

Cole made the decision to step back from some of his WWE roles and responsibilities last year.
