Nobody in wrestling today 'achieves' anything, because there are no stakes, and there are no stakes, because the companies function the same regardless of who holds what belt. There's nothing to achieve. Nobody, not a single wrestler or feud is is drawing gates or ratings based on star power. Back when it mattered, drawing was the achievement. And if you were a draw, you got the fake fighting belt. Now, they just give the belt if they personally like you, whether you're a draw or not (most times not).
Adam Cole got title reigns in an era where he didn't have to draw anything. Hell, in NXT, he lost in the ratings to AEW. And in AEW, he tanked the ratings below NXT.
