Update On Adam Cole In-Ring Return

WWE

AEW President Tony Khan has provided an update on Adam Cole’s return to the ring, noting that he’s excited for fans to find out more about Cole’s journey.

On the January 11 edition of Dynamite, Cole thanked fans for supporting him during his time on the shelf, before stating that he’s back.

Cole last wrestled at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door in June 2022, where he suffered a serious concussion while wrestling through a shoulder injury.

Speaking on the In The Kliq podcast, Tony Khan indicated that fans will soon learn more about Adam Cole’s recovery, as he prepares to return to the ring.

Khan said:

“Well, I don’t think he ever (ruled out returning to the ring).

“Certainly, it was a very challenging recovery, and they were points where, I’m sure, he had to question if he was going to make it back or, you know, what he was putting himself through because, like he said, he didn’t leave the house to do anything but brain therapy.

“He wanted it so bad. He wants so bad to come back to AEW, to get back in the ring and wrestle for the fans on Wednesdays on TBS, and Fridays on TNT. That’s his dream.

“For us, it’s a dream come true having Adam Cole be a part of the AEW roster. It’s very exciting that he’s getting closer and closer to making a comeback.

“It’s a really inspirational story, and people don’t even know the half of it yet. I’m excited for people to find out more about what Adam Cole has been through.”
