Adam Cole says MJF needs to remember to play it safe sometimes.
At AEW All Out, MJF and Adam Cole defeated John Silver and Alex Reynolds to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship. After the match, as they made their way up the ramp, Samoa Joe shoved MJF. the AEW World Champion stormed the ring and took the fight to Samoa Joe, and security officials had to separate them.
In a Digital Exclusive following AEW All Out, Cole commented on the duo's victory.
“We did it. We are not a flash in the pan. We are not a fluke. Better Than You, Bay Bay is proving once again why we are of the best tag teams, not just in AEW, not just in Ring of Honor, but on the planet. One of the reasons we’re one of the best teams is because we care for each other. Honest to god, right now I’m a little concerned about Max. I’ve never seen a fear in his eye like I saw tonight. I’m concerned for his health, I’m concerned for his neck. But Max once again proved why he is one of the best pro wrestlers on the planet. As far as I’m concerned, he is because he’s the AEW World Champion. Max fought through. I fought through in a two-on-one situation against Dark Order, a very, very good tag team. A damn good tag team, at best. we proved, I proved, Max proved that we can’t be stopped," Cole said.
Cole also addressed Samoa Joe shoving MJF and the AEW World Champion taking the fight to "The Samoan Submission Machine." Cole noted that MJF gets a little ahead of himself, and sometimes he needs to be reminded to play it smart. He then emphasized his excitement about their title run before he stated that he was going to check on MJF.
"Max gets a little ahead of himself sometimes. As we were on our way to go check on the doctor, to go get Max checked out, Samoa Joe decides to make a statement. Samoa Joe decides to push Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Of course, Max can’t control himself. Max, you are one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. Sometimes, it’s so important that a guy like me is there to remind you, sometimes you gotta play it smart. Sometimes, you gotta play things a little safe. Max will be back to 100% in no time, I can promise you that. I’m excited, I’m elated to be one-half of the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions. But right now, I’m concerned for my friend, so I appreciate your time, but I’m gonna go check on my best friend," he said.
