Adam Cole is in a tough spot right now. The hype of his return from injury has long since dissipated, and it looks likely that he is lost in the mid-card.
Another cause for concern for the former WWE star is that he does not have a match at AEW Full Gear after he lost to International Champion Konosuke Takeshita on the latest episode of Dynamite. Over the next week, he will hope that he can have a match on the card.
In this article, we will take a look at five ways in which Adam Cole can still be added to the Full Gear match card.

#5. He could attack Roderick Strong and take his spot
In Adam Cole’s absence, Roderick Strong has become the de facto leader of The Undisputed Kingdom, and rightfully so. He carried the mantle well, and it made sense for him to take over.
However, now that Cole is back in the fold, things might get sketchy. Strong is scheduled to face MJF at Full Gear after he picked three wins in a row, and with all the history between him and MJF, Cole might attack The Messiah of the Backbreaker and take his spot and take on MJF in a match that is long in the making.
#4. Cole could join hands with Orange Cassidy
Orange Cassidy is taking on Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title. However, the fight is more than just for the title and is for the pride of AEW over Moxley’s faction.
Given that Adam Cole has had a lukewarm return, what better way for him to make it up to the fans than by defeating Moxley? He could talk to Cassidy and pull his weight around in the back to make this match a Triple Threat and thereby give the AEW team a much-needed advantage.
#3. Adam Cole could lay an Open Challenge
This is one of the most likely outcomes for Adam Cole at Full Gear. Given that he is without a match and there are a lot of stars on the roster, he could choose to lay down an open challenge.
This would achieve two goals. One, it would bring Cole back into the fold properly once again. The other thing it would achieve is that it would also propel the challenger into the limelight and give them some screen time.
#2. Make the MJF vs. Roderick Strong match a Triple Threat
Given that Adam Cole has a lot of influence in the back, he could use that to pull his weight around. He has a sour history with MJF, so getting involved in a match with him would be ideal.
He could talk to Tony Khan and get himself inserted in the match. That way, both Cole and Strong could unload on MJF and show off the supremacy of The Undisputed Kingdom.
#1. The Kyle O’Reilly Factor
Kyle O’Reilly, like Adam Cole, has been lost in the mid-card ever since his long-awaited comeback. Despite having some good matches over the last few months, his situation has not changed.
The Panama City Playboy could approach him and float the idea of taking down MJF and Roderick Strong during their match. This would signal that there is a new tag team in AEW and would also give O'Reilly and Cole the right impetus.
