Last week on “AEW Dynamite,” Adam Cole had a confrontation with Kyle Fletcher, during which Fletcher appeared to accidentally hit his head on the ring apron—a move that could have serious consequences for the TNT Champion given Cole’s past concussion issues. Behind the scenes, many are reportedly concerned about the botched spot and the possibility of Cole suffering another injury while holding the TNT title. Brian Alvarez from “Wrestling Observer Radio” shared an update, confirming that although Cole did not hit his head, he did injure his elbow. Alvarez criticized Fletcher’s risky apron powerbomb move and the match’s disqualification finish, stating that if Fletcher had been just slightly higher, the move could have been deadly. Dave Meltzer agreed with Alvarez’s assessment of the weak finish, suggesting it was a set-up for a bigger match between Cole and Fletcher, describing the current finish as just the beginning of their storyline.
Fan Take: This update is crucial for AEW fans because it highlights the real physical risks wrestlers like Adam Cole face, adding authenticity and stakes to the TNT Championship scene. It also hints at a potential high-profile feud that could deliver some intense and well-built matches, keeping AEW’s competitive landscape exciting.
