Adam Cole made his return to AEW on Dynamite Wednesday, but it wasn't all smiles and hugs when the Undisputed Elite gathered at full strength for the first time in several weeks.

Cole hasn't wrestled since competing for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door, and he announced Wednesday that he still wasn't medically cleared to compete. He noted that Kyle O'Reilly, who also hasn't wrestled since June, wasn't cleared as well.

After talking about fixing things that go wrong and loyalty, he told the Young Bucks that since they wouldn't team with Bobby Fish, then they couldn't compete in the upcoming Trios Tag Team Championship tournament. Cole, Fish and O'Reilly then proceeded to lay out Matt and Nick Jackson and were about to Pillmanize Matt's neck when an old friend intervened.

Hangman Adam Page saved the Bucks and ran off the trio, then offered a hand to Matt to help him up before leaving, paying off months of teases and little clues between the three men dating all the way back to Full Gear in November 2021.

While there's still plenty of story to be told, fans already can see the potential reunion and a run for the trios titles, which would be a great new chapter in this story.
