AEW is dealing with several top stars being injured as World Champion CM Punk is slated to get surgery after suffering a foot injury, Bryan Danielson will miss a few weeks of in-ring action, and Adam Cole is on the shelf for now.
After winning the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament at Double Or Nothing, it was revealed that Cole suffered an injury in the match as he was pulled from a ten-man tag team match on last week’s AEW Dynamite. There’s still no word yet on the exact injury Cole is dealing with.
AEW will present its Forbidden Door pay-per-view with NJPW on June 26th and with the promotion holding a battle royal this week on Dynamite to see who advances to wrestle Jon Moxley in the interim title eliminator series later that night, fans are wondering who will be in the match.
While Cole won’t be in the match, it’s expected he will be back in time for the upcoming PPV event, according to Bryan Alvarez on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio.
“I was told that Danielson is out 1-2 weeks and probably no Cole until Forbidden Door. They’re going to let him rest up.”
