Adam Cole grapple-hooked his way to the Halo Championship Series Kickoff Major in Raleigh, NC.
The e-sports event which takes place from December 17-19 was headlined this evening by a showdown between Team Goldenboy and Team Walshy in the Big Team Battle (BTB) Bonanza II. Goldenboy, who has done commentary work for AEW in the past, commented on how he needed more firepower and people who can take care of business, before bringing out Adam Cole.
AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker tweeted out a clip of his introduction.

Team Goldenboy started out strong, winning the first game in the best of three. They proceeded to suffer a close loss in overtime of the second game. They were, however, able to prevail in the tiebreaker, holding off Team Walshy and retaining the championship.
They've done it!
