Adam Coles in-ring future with AEW is more uncertain than ever, and a new update makes it clearhes still not close to coming back.
During a Fightful Select Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp responded to a fan asking about Coles status. While many hoped the former TNT Champion was on the mend, Sapp painted a much more serious picture.
Cole isnt doing any coaching, producing, or behind-the-scenes work eitherand for good reason.
This backs up what many sources have been hearing privately for months: Cole is dealing with a tough recovery, and AEW is giving him all the time he needs. But what happens next is unclear, especially with his absence already affecting the companys direction.
Back in July, Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio that Coles abrupt exit from AEW All In: Texas wasnt part of any storyline. It was a legitimate scare that played out in real time. According to Meltzer, Cole was cleared to compete as late as Friday night. Then everything changed overnight.
Meltzer said Cole woke up Saturday feeling symptoms that made it impossible to wrestle, and there was no internal debate about whether hed perform.
Both Cole and Tony Khan were visibly shaken during the post-show media appearance. Meltzer added:
With no firm timeline and no backstage involvement, Adam Coles role in AEW is effectively frozen. While Khans loyalty may keep him employed, its unclear what the future holdsespecially if his recovery continues at this pace.
What do you think AEW should do with Adam Coles role while he recovers? Should they bring him on camera in a non-wrestling capacity or give him complete space to heal? Sound off in the comments below.
