Adam Cole and Hangman Adam Page are said to be doing better in recovering from their respective concussions.
Cole suffered his concussion during a match at the Forbidden Door PPV event in June, while Page was injured on an October episode of Dynamite in a World Title match with Moxley.
As previously reported last week, “a number of people have brought up being very concerned for Cole,” as he has been out of action for five months.
While speaking on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer noted that both are doing better in recovery.
“I guess both are doing better, whatever that means. I know that Page has been fine, and some of Cole’s friends told me that he’s doing better and he’s feeling good, but as far as a date or a return or anything, I don’t have anything on that.”
Bryan Alvarez revealed that Cole actually suffered a concussion before Forbidden Door, so the feeling was that they would give him plenty of time to recover from the concussion.
Cole’s last two matches were at Double Or Nothing on May 29 and Forbidden Door on June 26.
“Well, it is, but one of the things in his case was he had gotten a concussion, and then he came back and immediately got another concussion, so the feeling was, ‘Well, let’s give him plenty of time this time so that when he comes back, he doesn’t immediately get another concussion.’ Plus, you don’t want to get two in a row….he came back, he was immediately hurt again, and the feeling was he clearly came back too early, so after it happened a second time, it was like, ‘He’s gonna be out until he’s like 100%, and it could be a while.’”
Meltzer also confirmed the two incidents were about a month apart.
