Adam Cole, the former NXT Champion, is still in disbelief that he will be headlining Wembley Stadium alongside his new best friend, MJF. The announcement was made on the latest episode of Dynamite, where it was revealed that Cole would be challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship at the highly anticipated All In event on August 27th in London. This event is expected to be one of the largest attended in wrestling history, making it an even more monumental achievement for Cole and MJF.
Reflecting on his journey, Cole expressed his gratitude for being able to compete at such a high level after a severe concussion nearly ended his career in 2022. In a tweet, Cole shared his emotions, stating, “9 months ago, I was terrified that I may never be able to wrestle again. Now, me and one of my best friends go toe to toe for the most precious prize in our sport. At one of the biggest professional wrestling shows of all time. Proud.”
Since his return from injury, Cole has been on a path of redemption. He defeated Chris Jericho and then turned his attention to MJF and the AEW World title. Although they started as rivals, Cole and MJF formed an unlikely bond during the Blind Eliminator tag team tournament. Their chemistry was evident as they came close to becoming AEW Tag Team Champions on the July 29th episode of Collision.
Adam Cole’s journey from uncertainty to headlining Wembley Stadium is a testament to his resilience and determination. His story is an inspiration to aspiring wrestlers who may face setbacks in their careers. The opportunity to compete for the AEW World Championship in front of a massive audience is a dream come true for Cole and MJF.
