There’s never a good time for a wrestler to be injured and unfortunately Adam Cole has been out of action ever since he suffered an ankle injury during AEW Grand Slam last month.

It doesn’t sound like Adam Cole will be back in the ring in the near future as he revealed during a recent Twitch stream that he has to undergo two surgeries to get back on track.

“My ankle is broken. When it’s all said and done, When I’m eventually able to get everything all fixed, I’m going to need to get two surgeries, and it will be a total of eight screws and a plate in my ankle. So, not ideal. It’s incredibly painful. It’s the most painful injury I’ve ever had.

“Speaking to doctors, [it was] just an absolute freak type of thing. No idea how it happened, I’m doing my best to stay as positive as I can. Obviously, this is soul-crushing. it’s really, really a bummer. If anything, it’s more painful mentally and physically, it really really hurts as well.”

Even though Adam Cole hasn’t been wrestling he has still been making appearances on AEW programming, so it will be interesting to see how things play out during his road to recovery.
