Adam Cole still plans to get his hands on MJF.
On the November 13 edition of AEW Dynamite, Adam Cole faced and lost to Konosuke Takeshita, which disqualified him from facing MJF at AEW Full Gear. During the same show, Roderick Strong earned the right to face the former AEW World Champion, as he defeated Lance Archer to pick up his third singles victory in a row.
Cole isn't happy about missing out on the chance to face MJF, but at the same time, he's confident that Roderick Strong will get the job done. Even then, he still plans on getting his hands on MHF in some way, shape, or form.
“I feel like Max does what Max always does and that’s try at every turn to put everything in his favor. I feel like Max made it incredibly clear, especially after what happened this past week on Dynamite, that he wants nothing to do with me. That’s fine, at least for the time being, I know Roddy is gonna smash him and get his hands on him at the pay-per-view. I’m not done, even though I did not win those three matches, I will in some way, shape, or form eventually get my hands on MJF, it just won’t be this Saturday.” Cole said in a new interview with 94WIP.
Cole went on to say that he'll be giving some advice to Strong ahead of the match.
“I’ll certainly have a discussion with Roddy. I do understand that I know Max better than anyone literally in the history of AEW. By no means will I be involved [in the match], I’m gonna let Roddy do his thing, I know he can handle himself, but yeah, me and Roddy will definitely have some private conversations. We actually already have.”
