Adam Cole says Sabu’s AEW appearance came together at the last minute.
The ECW legend surprisingly appeared on the May 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he aligned with Cole and Roderick Strong. He was then announced as the special guest enforcer for Cole’s Unsanctioned Match against Jericho at AEW Double or Nothing.
Speaking with Brandon Walker on Rasslin’, Cole was asked to describe how Sabu’s AEW debut came together. (H/t Fightful for the transcription.)
“Oh my god, how incredible. Listen, I think over time, and this is pretty wild to think about, but when I was younger watching ECW, Sabu was one of my absolute favorites,” Cole said. “It’s so weird to think as time goes on, because again Sabu was a student of the game, to think that I had his respect enough for him to help me with the J.A.S is pretty damn cool. It was absolutely a last-minute decision. It’s great to have Roderick Strong there, but again, this match Sunday is Unsanctioned and we know that the J.A.S is going to be involved, so I took a shot in the dark. I talked to a friend of a friend, and reached out to Sabu. There’s nobody crazier or more prepared for an Unsanctioned match than Sabu. It all came together last minute, man.”
