Matt Jackson Says Adam Cole’s Condition Is Improving Every Day

Matt Jackson provides an update on Adam Cole.

At AEW All In: Texas on July 12, 2025, Adam Cole announced that he would be out of action indefinitely and hinted at a possible in-ring retirement in a heartbreaking address to the audience. Cole had originally been scheduled to defend the AEW TNT Championship at the show, though he was ultimately forced to vacate the title due to an undisclosed health issue.

During the latest episode of Being The Elite, Matt Jackson provided an update on Adam Cole’s recovery, noting that he is improving day by day.

“I love Adam Cole so much. He is the sweetest man I think I’ve ever met. Not in the business but in life, and I think everyday he’s improving and he’s getting better. Thank you for bringing this up because I need to actually text him right now and check on him because I miss him so much. I think he’s one of the most talented, gifted, charismatic wrestlers that ever was, and a much better human being. Shoutout to Adam Cole. We all talk about you all the time in the locker room.”
