Adam Cole is facing a lengthy recovery after breaking his ankle in three places during last week’s AEW Dynamite Grand Slam event.
After the Dynamite Grand Slam event, Adam Cole was taken to hospital due to an injury he suffered during the show. Now on the latest episode of Dynamite, Cole appeared alongside MJF for an in-ring promo. Despite wearing a cast on his leg and relying on crutches, he addressed the audience, expressing his need for surgery and promising to return as soon as possible.
During the segment, Cole and MJF were discussing their plans to relinquish the Ring of Honor Tag Team titles when MJF interrupted, claiming responsibility for Cole’s injury. Instead of giving up the titles, MJF proposed defending them by himself in a handicap match at the upcoming AEW WrestleDream event.
The segment took an unexpected turn when Roderick Strong entered the ring, expressing his support for Cole and urging him to reconsider. Cole eventually left with Strong and The Kingdom, while Jay White made his entrance. White and MJF engaged in a heated verbal exchange, with White vowing to take away MJF’s AEW World Championship.
Adding to the news, Cole’s girlfriend, Britt Baker, shared images and x-rays of his broken ankle on social media platform X, shedding light on the severity of the injury.
Fans and fellow wrestlers alike are sending their well wishes to Adam Cole, hoping for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
This guy broke his ankle in 3 places on a freak accident. He still hobbled around on live tv because as we like to say “the show must go on”. @AdamColePro gives his entire heart and soul to pro wrestling. He’s one tough cookie and this is just a small bump in the road. He’ll be… pic.twitter.com/Aya1JWTTvF

How Long Has Adam Cole Been With AEW?
Adam Cole first signed for AEW in 2021 and debuted at the All Out pay-per-view on September 5th. In 2022 Cole received a concussion and was unable to compete in the promotion until he made his return in early 2023.
Since his return, he has gone on to win the ROH Tag Team titles with MJF and challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship at All In in Wembley Stadium.
With no Cole available, MJF would successfully defend the Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships at WrestleDream. After the match, MJF celebrated “The Slam That Shook Seattle.” In a new update by Adam Cole, it has been revealed that multiple surgeries will be required.
