Despite the injury, Cole has remained on AEW television, with MJF defending the ROH World Tag Team Championship against the Righteous in a handicap match at WrestleDream.

Speaking on his Twitch stream, Cole provided a big update on his current injury status, noting that he is going to need two surgeries, eights screws and a plate in his ankle.

He said:

“My ankle is broken. When it’s all said and done, When I’m eventually able to get everything all fixed, I’m going to need to get two surgeries, and it will be a total of eight screws and a plate in my ankle. So, not ideal. It’s incredibly painful. It’s the most painful injury I’ve ever had.

“Speaking to doctors, [it was] just an absolute freak type of thing. No idea how it happened, I’m doing my best to stay as positive as I can. Obviously, this is soul-crushing. it’s really, really a bummer. If anything, it’s more painful mentally and physically, it really really hurts as well. “
