Adam Cole was supposed to wrestle Tom Lawlor at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II, but AEW President Tony Khan has just announced that Cole has been pulled from tonight’s show due to an illness.
As a result of the last-minute withdrawal, AEW has canceled the scheduled match between Cole and Lawlor. There’s no word on the nature of Cole’s illness.
Tony Khan tweeted, “Due to illness, @AdamColePro isn’t cleared tonight, therefore the Adam Cole vs @FilthyTomLawlor match is canceled. Despite the change, tonight will be an amazing show! Thank you to everyone watching #ForbiddenDoor, either here live in Toronto @ScotiabankArena or on ppv tonight!”
Cole made his in-ring return this past March following a lengthy layoff due to a severe concussion.
AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II will be broadcast live on pay-per-view at 8:00 PM EST. The Zero Hour pre-show kicks off at 7:00 PM EST and will stream live on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
Due to illness, @AdamColePro isn't cleared tonight, therefore the Adam Cole vs @FilthyTomLawlor match is canceled.
Despite the change, tonight will be an amazing show!
Thank you to everyone watching #ForbiddenDoor, either here live in Toronto @ScotiabankArena or on ppv tonight!
