Adam Cole had no idea how popular his tag team with MJF would be.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Adam Cole was a recent guest on Under The Ring. When asked about headlining All In this weekend, Cole called it a fairytale moment.
“So, for me personally, again, there’s so many different routes I could go with this,” Adam Cole began. “But overall, for it to be such an important event for professional wrestling and AEW as a whole is very exciting. It’s our first time over in the UK, and to see the outpouring of support and excitement for the show.
“I mean, I think the ticket sales kind of speak for themselves as far as how excited everybody is to have AEW here. It’s a giant step forward for AEW. For me personally, this means the world to me. Because nine months ago, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to wrestle again. Let alone main event one of the biggest professional wrestling shows of all time.
“So I keep reminding myself again, where I was like six to nine months ago. Wondering if I was ever going to be able to get back into the ring. And now to have the biggest match of my life against a guy like MJF for the AEW World Championship. I mean, that’s the ultimate full circle fairy tale moment for me.”
An Incredible Day At The Office
When asked about also tagging with MJF earlier in the day on Zero Hour to compete against Aussie Open, Cole said it’s a wild scenario to think about.
“Yeah, it’s pretty wild to think, again, we’re in this big world championship match going in as friends, but still easily the biggest match of both of our careers. But at the same time, I really do feel like our fans have loved and enjoyed watching me and MJF as a team,” Adam Cole said.
“And ever since we did not successfully win the AEW World Tag titles. I think the idea of going after championships that are equally as important to me, the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Titles, against a team like Aussie Open, who has just been incredible in their run in AEW so far.
“I mean, it’s wild. It’s crazy. But literally, everything about that night is wild and crazy. So I mean, if me and MJF could go in as the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions, that’d be pretty cool. So it’ll be a challenging, exciting, rough, but incredible day at the office for All In.”
When asked if he could have envisioned how popular his tag team with MJF is, Cole admitted that he didn’t see this coming at all.
“No, I was really hoping that people were going to be excited about it,” Adam Cole said. “I know quite a few people have talked about the idea of Adam Cole versus MJF being something they wanted to see. So I was hoping that people were going to be invested and excited about it.
“But the attachment to the team itself? Not in a million years did I think it was going to be this popular. I thought people were going to have some fun with it, but it’s wild. It’s taken on a life of its own, and it’s been so much fun.”
