A lot was expected of Adam Cole when he turned heel and attacked MJF at AEW Worlds End in December. Cole put his former best friend on the shelf for a few months, but he himself was also injured and could not do much.
During his injury rehab, he made sporadic appearances with the Undisputed Kingdom and made sure that he was relevant with the fans. However, he was attacked by the returning MJF at Double or Nothing and is once again on the periphery.
In this article, we will take a look at three ways in which Adam Cole could make a return to AEW.
#3. Return as the Devil
Adam Cole had everyone guessing when he was disguised as the Devil late last year. As the Devil, he hatched a lot of plans behind the scenes and made sure that MJF ended up losing his AEW World Championship.
Given that MJF attacked him and took him out once again, Cole could return as the Devil and pay Maxwell back at Forbidden Door, potentially setting up a match at All In at Wembley Stadium in August.
#2. Team up with Britt Baker and attack MJF’s girlfriend
MJF’s girlfriend, Alicia Atout, is now with AEW, and she is taking care of backstage interviews. She is quite active on social media and is seen constantly taking shots at her boyfriend.
Cole could get one up on his former best friend by teaming up with his own girlfriend, Britt Baker, to take Alicia out. In turn, that could set up a huge mixed tag team match at the All In event in August. That could be a great way to get the fans acquainted with Atout.
#1. Adam Cole goes after the AEW World Title
Adam Cole is a very talented wrestler, and for someone of his talent, he has not once been able to lift the AEW World Championship. He had matches where he challenged for the title, but he has not been able to win it.
One way that he could make an impact on his comeback is for him to directly challenge Swerve Strickland for the world title. Given the caliber of the two stars, the feud will be epic, and it will give Cole another chance to win the big one in AEW.
