During a recent appearance on the “Stick To Wrestling” podcast, Adam Cole discussed his storyline with MJF, revealing whether he was supposed to win the AEW World Championship from the Salt of the Earth prior to his injury.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if there were plans to have him beat MJF and win the title: “In the world of professional wrestling, there are constantly different ideas being thrown around or changes constantly. Do I know for sure that I was going to be in line to becoming the AEW World Champion? I’m not totally sure. That’s certainly where it seemed like we were going. That’s certainly the direction I think, very possibly, could have happened had I not been injured, which really did add to the mental anguish of the entire process.”
On facing roadblocks in wrestling: “There are constant roadblocks thrown in our way all the time. We have to adapt and pivot. I still have a lot of my wrestling career left, so I certainly hope the AEW World Title is in my future in the future.”
During a recent edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Bobby Cruise reflected on All In 2018 and the way he shared the ring announcing duties with Justin Roberts.
Cruise and Roberts served as the ring announcers for the pay-per-view event, and Cruise reminisced about it.

On being asked to do the show: “It was funny. I was getting asked, it quickly became in vogue to be All In. We had Ring Of Honor events so the Bucks would ask me, ‘Hey Bobby, are you All In?’ I don’t know, you guys got to tell me, am I all in? So finally we have a show in New York City, somebody told, ‘Bobby, you’re All In.’ Which is great, I knew it was going to be really cool.”
On Roberts being brought on as well: “Then we were in England for a Ring Of Honor loop standing outside of the hotel waiting for the bus. I was approached, ‘Hey, what do you think about Justin doing the show with you?’ I know there was concern about they didn’t want to just look like a ROH show with some other people thrown in, you know what I mean? Yes, there were talent that had never appeared in ROH that was going to be used on All In, but they wanted to have a completely different look and sound. Ian’s on commentary, I’m ring announcing, Paul is refereeing as well. There was also a mixture of outside talent and that’s the way they wanted it to be. I said, ‘Yeah, Justin, that’s great.’ I had never worked with Justin, we had talked over the years but had never worked together so I thought it’d be really cool. It was, it was great to kind of sit back and take some stuff in if it was his turn. We pretty much just swapped every other match it make it simple.”
