AEW Dealing With Injury To Owen Hart Memorial Winner Adam Cole
Adam Cole and the Undisputed Elite seemed poised to take over AEW ahead of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, but that might be on hold for the time being as he's reportedly injured.

The injury bug has swept through professional wrestling over the last week or so. Punk will be out of action for some time, while on the WWE side, Cody Rhodes could miss upwards of half a year with a torn pectoral muscle. Toss in
