MJF’s creative could change.
At Dynamite Grand Slam MJF put the AEW World Championship on the line in the main event against Samoa Joe. After an incredibly physical battle and a little help from Adam Cole, the champion retained the gold to extend his reign.
However, the victory came at a cost for Cole, despite not wrestling in the match.
When Cole ran in from backstage he jumped from the ramp to the floor and appeared to injure his ankle in the process. Adam Cole was seen backstage on crutches and sent to hospital. Tony Khan later addressed Cole’s injury in a media call.
Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that the injury could change plans for WrestleDream on October 1st. At the event, MJF and Cole are scheduled to defend their ROH World Tag Team Titles against The Righteous.
“Cole ran in at the end of the MJF vs. Samoa Joe title match. He jumped off the ramp to the floor while running and his ankle or knee went out. He did all the spots he was supposed to do in that finish but was limping and not moving well.
He was taken to the hospital after the match and we still haven’t heard a diagnosis. Because nobody heard anything on Cole, people feared the worst.
Cole & MJF were scheduled to defend the ROH tag titles on the 10/1 PPV against Vincent & Dutch, but that’s obviously in jeopardy. I have no earthy idea why MJF would be in a match with those two on a PPV show. He should be defending the title, but if it was going to be a tag title match it should have been with either FTR or the Young Bucks, or at worse Penta & Fenix.
Even the Kingdom, who were teased more as opponents and the storyline makes more sense, maybe that would be fine for TV or an ROH PPV, but not a show when you’re looking to get 140,000 buys or more or draw an $800,000 house or more. . .”
When Did MJF And Adam Cole Win The ROH World Tag Team Titles?
MJF and Adam Cole won the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Titles back at All In when they defeated Aussie Open. Despite teaming up to win gold, the pair later wrestled in the main event, with MJF picking up the win.
