KOR and Cole were leaving around the same time. I don't think KOR was going to get pushed to the main roster though, whereas that's all Cole really had left to do. I don't think being closer to Britt was a huge factor, though it certainly was a huge bonus. I think it was the realization that any move to the main roster was going to be absolutely awful for him.
People often forget working for the WWE was Cole's dream. It was probably very hard for him to say "naw, I'm out"
