Last year, the former WWE Superstar suffered a career-threatening concussion during the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match at the first edition of the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
Since then, Cole had been sidelined, and there was little to no update on his status. During an interview with Grapsody last year, Tony Khan indirectly addressed Cole's absence.
On the January 11th episode of AEW Dynamite, The Panama Playboy made a surprise return and addressed the reason behind his absence.
MJF namedropped multiple WWE personalities during his promo segment with Adam Cole
As mentioned earlier, both Friedman and Cole had a promo segment taking shots at each other. The AEW World Champion namedropped WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, claiming that he handpicked the Panama Playboy to be the top star in WWE.
He also mentioned that the company's Executive Chairman, Vince McMahon, did not see Cole as the top guy in the company.
"A certain individual in Titan Towers didnβt think you had top guy potential, and that individual's name was Vince McMahon... big fan by the way... Vince McMahon was right," MJF said.
Friedman also referred to the reports that Cole was slated to be Keith Lee's manager on WWE's main roster.
