Tony Khan<\/a>\u2018s update on Adam Cole<\/a>\u2018s AEW status doesn\u2019t sound very promising.<\/p>\n

All Elite Wrestling<\/a> President Tony Khan was a recent guest on The Ariel Helwani Show<\/a>. When asked for a status update on Adam Cole, who hasn\u2019t competed prior to AEW All In Texas after suffering another serious concussion, Khan didn\u2019t paint a very positive picture surrounding Cole\u2019s potential future inside the squared circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s hard. That\u2019s hard. Adam Cole, I love so much,\u201d Tony Khan said. \u201cI think Adam Cole is such a great wrestler, but also he\u2019s a really good friend. And it was very, very hard when I got the phone call the morning of All In Texas that Adam Cole was not feeling well. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s had injuries, and it\u2019s no secret, some of the injuries he\u2019s experienced have been head injuries. It was terrible when Adam Cole had the ankle injury, and when he needed time to recover, you don\u2019t want to see him in so much pain. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut also, that alone could have been a career-ending injury. He was out for over a year, and he came back from that. He was wrestling at such a high level, and I was really excited about what Adam Cole had done in 2025 to work his way into a top position and become the TNT Champion. And it was a great comeback story. I\u2019m just glad that he was able to tell us when he didn\u2019t feel good about wrestling anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will always be a role in AEW for Adam Cole if he wants it<\/p>\n

When asked if he believes Cole\u2019s in-ring career is over, Khan didn\u2019t sound overly optimistic about a return to the ring but said he\u2019ll always have a role in AEW if he wants it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would have to be the right situation for Adam to wrestle again. I think it\u2019s at least possible that we would keep Adam as part of the family, but I want to get to where he feels good about traveling and doing things every week again. But I\u2019ve been open with him that when he\u2019s ready, there\u2019s always a role in AEW for him. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe had been a commentator at times, and he\u2019s been one of the hosts of the shows. He\u2019s great for that. He\u2019s a great talent. He could be involved in a lot of things, and if he ever did want to wrestle again, and it was the right situation, and everybody could wrap their heads around it, so to speak, I think that it could make a lot of sense. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut anything involving head injuries or serious injuries, I always want to look at it and evaluate, does this make sense, and is there an opportunity to do this safely, where it\u2019s going to be a good outcome for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Cole has been relatively quiet since AEW All In Texas<\/p>\n

Since stepping away from the ring at AEW All In: Texas, Cole has been fairly quiet in the world of social media. He\u2019s only tweeted twice from his Adam Cole Twitter account, both tweets were about video games and not professional wrestling.<\/p>\n

Despite that, Cole continues to host All Elite Arcade with Evil Uno. <\/p>\n
