Matt Jackson indicated that former TNT Champion Adam Cole has been making positive strides in his quest to get healthy.

On the latest episode of Being The Elite, Matt Jackson responded to a fan’s tweet asking if there was an update on Cole’s health.

“I love Adam Cole so much. He is the sweetest man I think I’ve ever met. Not in the business, but in life. And I think every day he’s improving and he’s getting better,” he said. “And I think he’s one of the most talented, gifted, charismatic wrestlers that ever was and a much better human being. Shout out to Adam Cole. We all talk about you all the time in the locker room.”

Brandon Cutler and Matt’s brother Nick Jackson sent Cole their well wishes too.

Cole was forced to vacate the TNT Championship in July 2025 after suffering a concussion among other undisclosed health issues. Shortly after he announced he was stepping away from in-ring competition indefinitely.
