AEW star Adam Cole has opted to not have surgery related to his current injury.
At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2022, Cole suffered a very serious concussion, forcing a rushed ending to the IWGP World Heavyweight Title match, and has also been dealing with a shoulder injury.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Cole has decided to undergo physical therapy on his shoulder.
Prior to Forbidden Door, it had been reported that Cole had been wrestling with a torn labrum for months.
In an interview with the New York Post, Tony Khan was asked why he allowed Cole to wrestle at Forbidden Door despite his injury:
“He had no contact between Double or Nothing and Forbidden Door. He was on commentary. He had been cleared to wrestle. So now, I’m also gonna take some time [off] for him.”
The timeframe for Cole’s in-ring return will be determined by how well his physical therapy goes.
