Tony Khan comments on Adam Cole rumors

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter earlier reported that AEW had offered Adam Cole a contract. The report stated that Cole was also in talks with WWE over a new contract, but Cole had accepted neither offer at the time. Now, Dave Meltzer has revealed what AEW President Tony Khan had to say regarding the report:

"Tony Khan said it is incorrect and he has not made an offer to Adam Cole."

Cole's contract expired in July following NXT: The Great American Bash. Cole did not sign another long-term deal but instead signed an extension with WWE, which requires him to work for the promotion through SummerSlam weekend. According to the most recent report, Adam Cole has yet to sign a long-term deal with WWE.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
