10 Wrestlers Who Should Challenge Jon Moxley For The Interim AEW World Title
5. Adam Cole
Adam Cole was riding high in the AEW rankings until injury took him out of contention. If he’s fit and well before Punk he could be a good candidate not just to face Jon Moxley for the belt but to take it off him.
There’s no denying Cole is over with fans but after back to back losses against Hangman Adam Page and taking the pin at Forbidden Door, Cole could actually use the big win and the belt more than Moxley at the moment. Plus he’d be a suitably slimy heel to get his comeuppance against a returning CM Punk.
Sticking the interim title on Adam Cole would also allow The Undisputed Elite to indulge themselves in playing up the insufferable, smarmy heels, roles Matt and Nick Jackson have perfected. With both the tag and singles world titles in the stable’s possession it’s easy to imagine the enjoyably smug promos they’d cut for faithful videographer Brandon Cutler.
A brief run with the interim title would also give Cole some bragging rights ahead of a seemingly inevitable feud, and tug of love for The Bucks, if and when Kenny Omega returns to our screens.
