Adam Cole Addresses Fans at Worlds End – Adam Cole made a rare public appearance ahead of tonight’s AEW Worlds End pay-per-view, offering fans an update and a hopeful message about the year ahead. The former TNT Champion appeared during the pre-show and took a moment to thank fans for their continued support during his extended absence from the ring.

“Hopefully, you’ll be seeing a lot more of me in 2026,” Cole said, a brief but notable comment that drew a strong reaction from the live crowd.

Cole also discussed the two Continental Classic semifinal matches scheduled for Worlds End, highlighting Kyle Fletcher facing Jon Moxley and Konosuke Takeshita taking on Kazuchika Okada. While his role was limited to commentary and analysis, the appearance itself was significant given the uncertainty surrounding his in-ring future.

Cole has been sidelined since July after suffering a concussion just days before he was scheduled to defend the TNT Championship at All In. His recovery has been described as slow and complicated. In November, Bryan Alvarez provided a concerning update, noting that Cole was still dealing with serious symptoms and remained unable to fly.

“The day that it happened, Adam Cole was considering going out and just retiring,” Alvarez said. “And he was essentially talked out of it because you just never know but I think the feeling is that he may not ever wrestle again. And it’s a strong feeling in that direction.”

Those comments underscored the severity of Cole’s situation and added to speculation about whether his wrestling career could be nearing its end. AEW President Tony Khan has also spoken cautiously about the matter. Earlier this year, Khan stated that “it would have to be the right situation” for Cole to return to the ring, reinforcing that no firm plans are in place.

While Cole did not announce any concrete timeline or medical update, his statement ahead of Worlds End suggests optimism about being more involved with AEW in the coming year, whether in an on-screen or behind-the-scenes capacity. For now, fans remain hopeful that his health continues to improve and that 2026 could mark a meaningful next chapter for one of AEW’s most prominent stars.
