Matt Hardy comments on Adam Cole's injury.
On the September 27, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite, Adam Cole revealed that he broke his ankle in three different places and tore multiple ligaments at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.
The news was a massive letdown to many fans, as the storyline with Adam Cole and MJF is currently one of the hottest angles in all of wrestling.
On the latest episode of The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy first noted that he's a huge fan of Adam Cole, as the two worked together during an important part in Hardy's career.
“I am a huge, massive proponent of Adam Cole as you know and as most people know. I caught him at a very interesting time, I was going through the second stage of my career and I was really fortunate to be able to work with him, and he made me feel good and confident about what I was doing at the time, as I was kind of changing up the way that I worked. He actually kind of said the same, I was the first big name that he had a legit program with and he said that I was helping as well. I think we were a mutual admiration society, which was great. Huge fan of Adam Cole.”
Hardy then went on to comment on the injury, noting that he was heartbroken to see how bad Cole's injury ended up being. Hardy also stated that he believes Cole and MJF will make the most out of a bad situation.
“Just when I saw him after getting injured on TV, it was heartbreaking to see how badly he was injured. Broken bones in his foot, torn ligaments, torn tendons. He’s got a big surgery coming up and he’s going to be down and out for a while. Once of the worst things about it is that he was in one of the hottest angles in wrestling. Him and MJF, they’ve just been television gold and it sucks that he gets hurt at this time. Just knowing the creative process between those two, I’m sure they’ll make the most out of this.”
