Adam Cole appeared on AEW Dynamite this week, but has been banged up for quite a while.
Word emerged recently that Adam Cole had been battling a series of injuries of late, but Fightful learned that it's been going on longer than most realize.
Cole has been dealing with a labrum injury as far back as his AEW World Title program with Hangman Page, and worked through the pain, based on what AEW sources tell us. Those that we spoke to claimed that the labrum was torn, though we've not had that confirmed by Cole or All Elite Wrestling themselves.
Cole hasn't competed since AEW Double or Nothing against Samoa Joe. We've not heard if Cole will be forced to miss any time or if he'll be rehabbing the injury. There was also unconfirmed word that Cole had sustained a concussion in the Samoa Joe match.
