New feud already in the buildup for Adam Cole?
Adam Cole wrestled his return match after almost 400 days on the 30th October episode of AEW Fright Night Dynamite. This marked Cole’s first match since his ankle injury back in September 2023. He faced off against Buddy Matthews of ‘The House of Black’ in a brutal encounter.
With extreme strains on his already injured ankle, Cole stood tall and defeated Matthews after escaping multiple near falls. After the match, the former NXT Champion shook hands with Matthews, as the lights went out.
However, when the lights came back, it was Malakai Black instead of Buddy Matthews shaking hands with Adam Cole. A shocked Cole shared a stare-down with Malakai Black before backing out of the ring.
With already a challenge on his mind as MJF, the announcer’s team wondered if Black was the next test for Cole. However, soon after, a match between Malakai Black and Cole was set for next week’s Dynamite.
This will also mark Black’s first singles match in almost five months.
When Is Adam Cole Going To Face MJF?
Adam Cole and MJF’s friendship took a turn last year when Cole turned heel on his best friend. However, upon his return this year, a lot has changed in the promotion. While MJF currently plays a heel gimmick, Cole has embraced his face gimmick.
The current situation in the promotion witnesses both Roderick Strong and Cole wanting to take their frustrations out on MJF. However, as per ‘The Salt of the Earth’, the first person between Strong and Cole to get three singles wins will be the one to face him at Full Gear 2024.
