Adam Cole is arguably one of AEW's meanest heels, but the multi-time champion is highly beloved by a loyal fanbase online. The Undisputed Kingdom leader recently had to pause a livestream after receiving a heartfelt message from a fan.
The Panama City Playboy leads a faction of heels in AEW, but on Twitch he's known as The CHUGS. Cole launched his Twitch account in 2020 and has been vocal about how much the gaming channel and its viewers mean to him. He currently has around 144,000 subscribers to the channel.
Cole had an emotional moment with his viewers on Twitch this weekend. The message he read from a fan came after they gifted 200,000 Twitch bits worth $2,000.000, in the form of Tier 1 subscriptions to dozens of others in the community. The former WWE NXT Champion was unable to read the message without getting emotional.
"You have touched all of our lives in such a wonderful way... [Cole gets emotional] where there's negativity, you are positive. Where there are... 'Here we go Chugs, you got this dude, you got this...' Where there are tears, you bring us smiles... where there is anger, you bring us understanding, where there's hate, you bring us love. There's no one on Earth like you Chugs, it's impossible to put into words, how special you are, you have no idea how much you mean to me, and all of us," Adam Cole reads.

Cole got emotional again as he also expressed his love for the fan, adding that there's no way to put his gratitude into words. The former NXT Champion has been out of action since October 2023 with an ankle injury. His last match came at AEW All Out 2023, where he and MJF retained the ROH World Tag Team Championship over The Dark Order.
