Adam Cole wants to return to the NJPW ring.
AEW’s working relationship with NJPW has seen stars from the two companies compete for the other. This partnership was followed by the working relationship between WWE and TNA, which has led to many crossover matches as well. In both cases, there are many exciting opportunities for wrestlers.
Speaking with Chris Mueller for Bleacher Report, Adam Cole was asked whether this is the best time to be a wrestler.
“Without question,” Cole said. “It’s a fact. Since I’ve started wrestling, this absolutely is the best time to not only be a wrestler, but to be a wrestling fan. It’s so incredible to see so much great pro wrestling across the board. All the opportunities that so many different wrestlers are getting. It feels like a golden age, or like a boom period for pro wrestling. I love that. It makes me so so happy. 2025 At this moment, this has been the most exciting time to be a wrestler or a fan.”

Cole went on to make it clear that he wants to wrestle in NJPW again. He noted that the idea of doing so was high on his list.
“The one for sure that I think I would love to do is I definitely want to go back to New Japan,” he said. “I got the chance to wrestle there a few times and I got to do a Wrestle Kingdom show, which was amazing.
“But then right as I started going to Japan more often is when I left, so I was not able to continue going to Japan. So now that I’m back in All Elite Wrestling, the idea of being able to go over and wrestle for New Japan again is very high up on my list.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Dynamite as it airs on February 26th.
