Before AEW’s event in Texas, Adam Cole decided to vacate the AEW TNT Championship to focus on his health. At the pay-per-view, Cole sincerely shared that this might be the last time he addresses fans as a professional wrestler.
During the AEW Texas Post Show Media Scrum, Tony Khan addressed the situation, revealing that news about Cole’s health issues emerged suddenly, despite plans for him to compete. Khan explained, “We had everything planned just yesterday. Even when I was at the ROH Super Card of Honor last night, we were arranging a pay-per-view, and Adam Cole had everything set to defend the TNT title against Kyle Fletcher.”
Though Cole intended to participate and believed he could perform, it ultimately didn’t happen. Khan added, “We talked last night and early this morning, and he wasn’t feeling bad. These types of injuries can be unpredictable. It’s important that Adam Cole takes the necessary time to recover fully.”
This health setback adds to the challenges Cole has faced, including missing a year of AEW action due to a previous injury. We at SESCOOPS wish Adam Cole a swift and complete recovery.
Fan Take: Adam Cole’s absence is a significant blow to AEW fans who admire his skill and charisma. His health and eventual return will be critical not only for his career but also for the ongoing excitement and competitiveness within AEW.
