In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, All Elite Wrestling star Adam Cole opened up on the injury that kept him out of action for over a year, needing a cadaver bone in his ankle as a result and much more.

“The first piece of news that I heard was, your ankle is way worse than we anticipated, you have to get another surgery in seven days, so not only did I have to get double the amount of screws in my ankle, but also, I had to get someone else’s bone put into my ankle, because the bone piece within my ankle just completely disintegrated.

Incredibly thankful to the donor and the family, it’s certainly a better option, I definitely notice a difference in my left ankle as opposed to my right one, but I think that comes with the territory. I still feel like I can be Adam Cole and do the things that I want to do, and I’m certainly not even close to wanting to be done with wrestling.”
