Adam Cole in Action on AEW Dark!
It’s a busy time to be Adam Cole, baybay! Not only has he been feuding with Orange Cassidy and The Best Friends, he also currently finds himself in the middle of a building feud between his Super Elite comrades The Young Bucks, and his former Undisputed Era friends, ReDRagon!
Last week on Dynamite the two factions almost came to blows, before they were interrupted by Orange Cassidy and The Best Friends. This led to none other than Cole’s real-life girlfriend, AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker DMD, coming out and attacking the Friends’ Kris Statlander, enabling Cole to take out Cassidy in the process. Cole and Baker then made their on-air relationship official with a big ol’ smooch in the ring, while the Young Bucks jealously looked on.
Cole and Baker are on the rise as an AEW power couple, but in the meantime, Cole still has unfinished business with Orange Cassidy. Tonight Cole faces former ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion Kaun, while Cassidy and Wheeler Yuta are in tag team action against The Wingmen on AEW Dark!
