The Young Bucks provide update on Adam Cole

AEW The Young Bucks Adam Cole

The Young Bucks recently gave fans an update on Adam Cole following his apparent retirement from the ring back at All In 2025 in Texas. Speaking during a recent livestream on the Being The Elite YouTube channel, Matt and Nick revealed that Cole is taking everything “step by step” in terms of his recovery.

“We were just talking to him [Cole] the other day. It’s step by step for him. He’s just trying to take it day by day, but he’s having improvements which is good” Nick Jackson revealed.

“So, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He’s, gosh the best person I think I’ve ever met in the wrestling business without exaggeration. Number one, he’s the best” Matt Jackson then added.

It is not currently known if Cole will ever be able to get back in the ring again, but he does appear to be somewhat recovering from severe post-concussion syndrome and other related health issues.

Nothing has been said either way. Matt and Nick framed the update as a personal one rather than a wrestling one, so it was closer to checking in on a friend than teasing a comeback.

What’s Cole’s injury history?

Cole has dealt with a string of serious issues across his AEW run, including concussions and an ankle injury sustained at Forbidden Door 2023.
