Adam Cole was forced to vacate the TNT Championship before AEW All In: Texas and even hinted at retirement due to health issues during All In: Texas. Fans have been wondering what really happened to him and now Tony Khan has provided an update on Cole.
While speaking during the post AEW All In: Texas scrum, Tony Khan gave an update on Adam Cole after Cole vacated the TNT Title because of health issues. Khan said that just yesterday, even as late as last night while he was at ROH Supercard of Honor, they were fully planning for the pay-per-view. Everything was set for Adam Cole to defend the TNT Title against Kyle Fletcher.
After Collision, where there was a trios match with Kyle Fletcher, RPG Vice, and The Paragon, Cole came back and they spoke. Cole was absolutely planning to be at the pay-per-view, and as of yesterday, they were still talking about it.
But sometime between late last night and early this morning, Cole let him know he wasn’t feeling well. Khan pointed out that this shows how unpredictable these kinds of injuries can be and stressed that it’s important for Cole to take the time he needs to recover. Right now, there’s no clear idea of when Cole will be able to wrestle or even speak to fans again.
“Yesterday we were absolutely planning, even last night when I was at ROH Supercard of Honor, we were planning for the pay-per-view. We had absolutely put everything in place for Adam Cole to defend the TNT Title against Kyle Fletcher.
Coming out of Collision, we had a trios match with Kyle Fletcher, RPG Vice vs. The Paragon. The trios match, coming out of it, Adam Cole, he came back, we talked, he was definitely planning to be at the pay-per-view and even yesterday we had talked. But somewhere between late last night and earlier this morning, we talked and he wasn’t feeling well. And that’s the unpredictable nature of some of these kinds of injuries, and I think it’s important that Adam Cole takes time to get right. Right now, there’s no clear idea of when Cole will be able to wrestle or even speak to fans again.”
Adam Cole’s absence is a big setback, not just for AEW’s TNT Title scene but also for the fans who’ve followed his incredible comeback journey. Right now, the most important thing is Cole’s health and recovery. Hopefully, he’ll beat these issues and get back to doing what he loves as that’s what matters the most to him right now.
