Adam Cole sends rare social media message amid uncertain AEW future

AEW star Adam Cole was seen engaging on social media after a long time. He has been absent from the Jacksonville-based promotion since July 2025. He was supposed to defend his TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher at All In: Texas, but had to vacate the title due to a major concussion. No timetable has been provided for his return so far.

The Panama City Playboy has been fond of video games for many years. It seems like he has been focusing on streaming video games during his hiatus. A few weeks ago, he even did a voiceover for a game named Curiousty.

Adam Cole recently revealed his top 10 video games list for this year. He took to X/Twitter in a rare moment and stated that 2025 had been a good year for the video game fanatics.

"2025…what a year for Video Games @giantbomb," he wrote.

Tony Khan hinted that Adam Cole's in-ring career might be over

In the past two years, the former TNT Champion faced many setbacks due to multiple injuries. However, this one may be more serious.

While speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Tony Khan said the possibility of Adam Cole stepping foot in the squared circle again was low and discussed other roles for him.

“I think it would have to be the right situation for Adam [Cole] to wrestle again. I think it’s at least possible that we would keep Adam as part of the family, but I want to get to where he feels good about travelling and doing things every week again. I’ve been open with him that when he’s ready, there’s always a role in AEW for him. He had been a commentator at times, he's been one of the hosts of the shows, he's great for that," Khan said.

It will be interesting to see if fans receive any good news regarding Adam's health in 2026.
