WWC Signs NCAA Champion Ethan “Lionheart” Cole to Exclusive Contract   By Dynasty Insider Staff | September 29, 2025

The World Wrestling Council (WWC) has officially signed one of the most anticipated prospects in modern wrestling: Ethan “Lionheart” Cole, a former NCAA national champion and Olympic hopeful whose journey from heartbreak to hunger has captivated fans across the country.

WWC executives confirmed the signing late Monday evening, calling Cole “a generational athlete with the mindset of a warrior.” The announcement sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, as Cole’s transition from amateur dominance to professional combat has been closely followed by insiders and fans alike.

Cole, now known by the moniker “Ironheart,” brings a unique blend of mat-based precision and relentless intensity to the WWC roster. His offense is rooted in his collegiate wrestling pedigree—grinding control, explosive suplexes, and a refusal to quit. But it’s his story that makes him dangerous.

After a devastating loss in the NCAA finals during his senior year, Cole pushed for Olympic glory, only to fall short by the narrowest of margins. Rather than retreat, he rebuilt. Every match since has been a personal reckoning—a chance to erase doubt and prove that he will never come up short again.

“Ethan Cole doesn’t just wrestle,” said WWGP Head Commissioner Thomas Jones “He fights like every second matters. That’s the kind of fire we want in our ring.”

Cole is expected to debut on Thursday Night Dynasty within the coming weeks.

With his signing, WWC continues to solidify its reputation as the home of wrestling’s next generation—where redemption, grit, and greatness collide.

Stay tuned for updates on Cole’s debut.
