Adam Cole left WWE NXT 2.0 to join AEW last year. He’s reportedly been dealing with multiple injuries heading into Forbidden Door despite still appearing on television. Booker T, on the latest “Reality of Wrestling Podcast,” spoke about Cole’s injuries and believed that his lack of size is holding him back.
“If Adam Cole has to have surgery and he’s down for six, nine months and he, you know, lose any more muscle, it’s going to be hard on this brother,” Booker T stated. ” You know what I’m saying? Right now, he’s about a buck 60.”
“We gotta get more weight on Adam Cole, you know what I mean? That’s his problem, he’s light, bottom light. We gotta get some muscle on this kid. That’s probably one of the reasons why he’s going out there, getting hurt because it can’t be the schedule at AEW.”
Cole is rumored to challenge new IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jay White and Adam Page in a triple threat match at Forbidden Door.
