“I don’t even want to think about talking about retiring because I’m not in the right main space, but I would take the opportunity to come out and talk to you all if this is really goodbye because you’re the best damn wrestling fans in the world.”

He did not reveal the damage. Fightful Select reported Cole had to do with a concussion.
Rhodes won the championship in four-way match.
Cole joined Al Elite -Wrestling in 2021, where he made his amazing debut at all. He immediately threw himself into heated feuds. One of the bigger ones came with Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) as the two put their differences aside to get together and eventually win the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship, which eventually led to Cole turning on MJF.
But a big ankle injury kept him out of ring for about six months, from December 2023 to May 2024. He would revive the MJF feud and put it to bed in December 2024.
Cole won the AEW TNT Championship at Dynasty in April over Daniel Garcia – it was the first AEW title in his career.
