AEW News: Tony Khan Reveals Adam Cole's Long-Term Contract Status

screenrant.com:

Since Adam Cole debuted in AEW, it's been clear that Tony Khan has big things in store for him, and given the apparent length of his contract, that certainly makes sense. He was placed in a prominent role immediately after showing up at All Out last year,and while injury issues have prevented The Elite civil war from happening, Cole is still a huge part of the company's future.

The former NXT and independent scene standout is currently dealing with an injury that he sustained at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Fans recently received good news on Cole's injuries, however, and his contract status will give them even more to cheer about.

While speaking on the Busted Open radio show, Khan was talking about the amount of disinformation that gets spread on Twitter. There's been a ton of speculation about Cole returning to WWE now that Vince McMahon is gone due to his excellent working relationship with Triple H. To that, TK said "some of the narratives I've seen every day for the last week are really amusing to me. Like, I've got people signed (in AEW) for five years. And people think just because the guy, the CEO, the chairman, the head of creative, those positions change in the competition, people I have five-year contracts with, are just magically gonna' switch teams? Good luck with that. Adam Cole is signed through 2027 now. I wouldn't expect to see him going anywhere anytime soon." Khan also noted that Malakhai Black has almost five years remaining on his contract as well while explaining that just because wrestlers had success elsewhere under a different regime doesn't mean they'll be leaving AEW at this juncture.
