ByAnutosh BajpaiProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Tony Khan does not have a health update on Adam Cole.

The former Champion has been off TV since he relinquished the TNT title at All In: Texas PPV in July this year. He got people curious when he made an appearance during the World\’s End pre-show tonight, and teased that fans will get to see more of him in 2026.

The AEW President was asked about Cole\’s comments during the PPV post-show. Tony Khan claimed that he was happy to hear from Adam, but said that he had no update other than saying the wrestling veteran is doing well:

“Well, there’s certainly no pressure. I was just really happy to hear from Adam Cole, and I thought the fans would be so happy to see him. Obviously, Adam Cole’s been a great champion in AEW, and it was important for Adam Cole to step away and prioritize his health and well-being.

We love him. He’s a great star here and absolutely, like we said, when he spoke earlier, we want Adam Cole to be involved in AEW. I don’t have any health updates other than to say you can see he’s doing well, and he’s excited about AEW.\”

When Renee Paquette mentioned that Adam Cole did well as an analyst during his appearance, Tony Khan agreed saying, \”He’s very good, excellent host.\” Though the wrestling executive reiterated that he had no update to give to the fans about his health:

\”So with Adam Cole, no particular update other than to say you can see he’s doing well, and since we last heard from him when he had to vacate the TNT Championship at AEW All In Texas. It was a sad moment, it was a hard moment for a lot of the fans and for a lot of us in AEW. So we were so happy to hear from him tonight.\”

Who will advance to the King of the Ring final?
