AEW star Adam Cole recently spoke with SI.com for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Cole talked about his recovery from a concussion that he suffered at the 2022 Forbidden Door PPV. He made the following relevation:
“I’ve never shared this before. Two months after my concussion at Forbidden Door, I was seeing a brain doctor three times a week. After two months of not being cleared for anything but going for walks, I took this brain test. I had to move my head back and forth, and there was a letter E moving up, down, left or right. I had to say which direction it was facing. Pro athletes are supposed to score a 120. I scored a 38.”
“At that point, after two months of doing absolutely nothing, that’s when I got slapped in the face with reality. It went even deeper than wrestling. I was worried about my quality of life.”
