Adam Cole has been dealing with a legitimate ankle injury, but fans were in a state of doubt after the injury was announced.
Last week during the main event, Adam Cole would sprint to ringside to back up MJF. However, disaster struck when Cole would land awkwardly on his foot.
Many fans have been worried since, and now we know more as Adam Cole revealed all on this week’s show.
Cole would make his way to the ring on crutches and wearing a cast on his leg. After a brief promo with MJF, he would announce that he had broken his ankle in 3 places and tore ligaments. Cole also announced that due to the injury, he would require surgery.
Fightful Select now reports that the injury is 100% legitimate and Cole is scheduled for surgery.
The word within AEW is that he is legitimately scheduled for surgery and will be out for quite some time. When seen, he was wrapped and had crutches, and required help traveling. So if for some reason he wasn’t hurt, everyone else isn’t in on it. We wish him a speedy recovery. The hope within the AEW roster was that he simply sustained an ankle sprain, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Cole went to the hospital after the September 20 AEW Dynamite, and was seen on crutches shortly after. We’ve not been told if they plan on keeping Cole involved via vignettes or if he’ll be factored into upcoming shows, but were told to “not expect him” in a live capacity on upcoming Dynamites and Collisions.

Cole would begin to announce he and MJF would be relinquishing the ROH World Tag Team Championships, but Max had other ideas, saying he would defend the titles alone vs The Righteous at AEW WrestleDream.
The segment also featured Roderick Strong calling for Adam, coming out in a wheelchair and announcing an emergency. MJF would tell Cole to go, being a good friend and respecting boundries.
We will have to wait and see how long Cole will be out of action for.
