AEW Dynamite Preview: Adam Cole Injury Update, MJF Appears, WrestleDream Contract Signing

Tonight's AEW Dynamite is the go-home show for AEW WrestleDream.

Before All Elite Wrestling brings another new pay-per-view to fans this Sunday with AEW WrestleDream, there is one more episode of AEW Dynamite. Recent episodes of AEW Dynamite have been supersized, as the promotion has followed up major shows like AEW ALL IN: London and AEW All Out with stacked televised cards. Last week's AEW Dynamite continued the annual tradition of running inside Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY and was headlined by AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman defending his title against Samoa Joe. MJF left New York City with the gold but might have lost his tag partner in the process.

During the climactic moment of MJF vs. Joe, MJF's tag partner Adam Cole ran out to ringside. As he made his way down to the ring, Cole jumped down from the ramp to the floor outside and noticeably tweaked his ankle. AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Cole will provide an update on his injury tonight. As of this writing, Cole and MJF are scheduled to defend their Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships against The Righteous this Sunday at AEW WrestleDream.
