Former WWE Superstar shares cryptic message teasing potential AEW return following outing with Tony Khan

AEW is possibly getting one of their biggest stars back in the active scene, if Adam Cole's tweet is any indication to go by.

The Panama City Playboy hasn't wrestled in AEW since his IWGP Heavyweight Championship battle at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view against Kazuchika Okada, Jay White, and Hangman Page. During that match, Cole apparently received a concussion on top of the torn labrum he already had.

According to a recent report from Dave Meltzer, the chances of his in-ring return seemed slimmer than ever, with the timeline potentially stretching to as late as the Full Gear pay-per-view in November.

However, The Panama City Playboy was recently spotted with Tony Khan. This fueled rumors that his return was imminent. Furthermore, Adam Cole posted a tweet that confirmed his return to the active scene.

​

"I’m running sh*t when I’m back. Seriously. Save the tweet. Otherwise…"

Adam Cole is considered to be one of the hottest prospects on Tony Khan's roster. Considering the state of flux that the Jacksonville-based Promotion is currently in with the World Title being up for grabs, the time may be ripe to introduce a wildcard into the mix.

Fans had a varied reaction to the AEW star's tweet
