It’s been since AEW’s Forbidden Door PPV that Adam Cole has stepped into the ring, and many in the industry have some growing concerns over the severity of the injury.
Cole’s last match happened in June at the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door event, where he challenged for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship in a four-way match against Jay White, Kazuchika Okada, and Hangman Adam Page. The top AEW star was working through a torn labrum injury at the time and suffered a concussion during the bout.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “a number of people have brought up being very concerned for him.”
It was previously reported last month that Cole’s return to AEW “could be tomorrow and it could be never” because it’s a concussion injury that he’s dealing with, which can be unpredictable sometimes with recovery.
We will update you on this story as it develops and we wish Adam Cole a speedy and fruitful recovery.
