The latest on Adam Cole and AEW (Patreon)

There is obviously heavily speculation in regards to Adam Cole and All Elite Wrestling now that he's a free agent. In Fightful last speaking with WWE reps on Tuesday, they seemed less confident in making a deal happen now that Cole had reached that free agency period, which is why they sent out the internal note. We'll have more on those talks in the coming weeks, but WWE sources indicated they'd continue making efforts to re-sign him as of the day he hit free agency

As of 5 PM EST, the AEW roster have not been officially informed or told that Adam Cole was joining the company, or that he'd be at All Out. To the contrast, CM Punk arrived at the venue the day of his debut, was not hidden, and socialized prior to the show.

AEW talent that we've spoken with throughout the weekend have speculated themselves about his possible impending arrival and one source said if it happened, they'd expect him to be hidden. 


Inquiries to those of influence in AEW that are usually met with an answer -- whether it be yes or no -- are receiving much more quiet responses when asking about Cole this weekend.

We'll keep you updated on the latest on the situation.

As always, nothing is confirmed until we actually see it. Even in the case of CM Punk, ESPN's Marc Raimondi reported that he didn't sign his actual All Elite Wrestling contract until 30 minutes before his debut.
