Adam Cole Finally Addresses Controversial Moment in AEW

Adam Cole discussed the meaning behind his memorable moment with Malakai Black on the November 6th episode of Dynamite. The interaction occurred after Cole’s victory in their singles match, which was part of MJF’s challenge requiring Cole to win three matches before facing him.

No, no. I really didn’t (know what was happening with Malakai Black & AEW when we had our moment on Dynamite). So, again, I do have a history of working with Malakai. Just an unbelievable opponent, an unbelievable guy to step in there with and we’ve shared a lot of really, really cool moments together. So for me, all it was was this personal moment between two guys who have a lot of respect for each other. I don’t know anything about — or didn’t know anything about what his plans were or anything like that. For me, it was just a cool moment with a friend after getting to work together for a long time.

The moment sparked fan speculation when Black stood on the entrance ramp and looked back at the ring before heading backstage. Black addressed these rumors at the time, stating he was not leaving the company. He competed in three more matches before departing from AEW.
