Injured WWE Superstar Cleared To Return, Adam Cole Talks NXT North American Title Match

Unfortunately injuries happen from time to time in the world of professional wrestling, and several stars have spent their time recovering from injuries on the Road to WrestleMania.

But it looks like we’ll be seeing the returns of stars such as Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe soon, and now another WWE Superstar has been cleared.

PWInsider is reporting that Brian Kendrick has been cleared to return to in-ring competition. Back in December Kendrick suffered a fracture to his orbital bone and nasal bridge during a match with Hideo Itami on Raw.

Tonight Adam Cole has a chance to become the first ever NXT North American Champion when he competes in a ladder match that’s also set to feature EC3, Lars Sullivan, Killian Dain, Velveteen Dream and Ricochet.

Adam Cole recently spoke to Newsweek about the match, and he noted that everyone involved in the title bout is looking to steal the show, and hopefully put on the best match of the weekend.

“It’s amazing. First, it’s my first WrestleMania weekend and to be involved in that is awesome. And Takeover: New Orleans, the card is stacked and that match specifically is so crazy that we get to introduce a new championship. The six-man ladder match has six guys that many people feel can win it. Which creates a very cool, exciting match for everybody. If you follow any of the six of us, you know when a ladder is involved, we’re going to get the best entertainment we possibly can. The match is going to be special, we’re going in there with the intention to steal the show, if not the weekend. We’re confident that this ladder match is something that’s going to be really, really special. The best part is, everyone on Takeover has the same mentality we do. They want to have the best, most exciting match that they can, and certainly at WrestleMania they have that mentality, so the real winners are the fans. It’s going to be the best weekend for sports entertainment and pro wrestling. It’s going to be great. I’m super jazzed to be a part of it, I can’t wait.”
