AEW Finally Preparing For Long-Awaited Adam Cole Return

After a year out of action due to a gruesome injury, it seems AEW is now preparing for the return of Adam Cole.

At AEW Grand Slam 2023, Adam Cole suffered a broken ankle while attempting to help MJF in his World Title match against Samoa Joe. During the run-in, Cole jumped from the raised ramp to the floor, getting injured in the process. Cole remained on television for much of the rest of the year, eventually being revealed as The Devil who had been targeting MJF.

After a break, Cole returned to AEW television at Double or Nothing where he was attacked by MJF, who was making his own return from injury. MJF destroyed Cole in short order and he hasn’t been seen since. But could that be about to change?

Adam Cole’s AEW Return On The Horizon

Fightful Select has reported that the word making the rounds backstage in AEW is that the company is hopeful Adam Cole will be returning sooner rather than later and that things have been put in motion to prepare for that on-screen comeback.

Cole was backstage at All Out, walking without crutches or any kind of walking aid indicating that his injury had healed.

During his absence from the wrestling ring, it seems there has been another big change for the former NXT Champion as it has been noted that Adam Cole is no longer with his long-time girlfriend Dr Britt Baker DMD.
