Adam Cole appearance, Lio Rush vs. Shelton Benjamin set for AEW Dynamite
Adam Cole’s Dynamite return is set.
AEW announced on Monday that Cole would be making his return this Wednesday.
“After shocking AEW Fans and @The_MJF with his appearance at #AEWWrestleDream, @AdamColePro makes his return to #AEW Dynamite, LIVE at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TBS, THIS WEDNESDAY!,” AEW’s post on X said.
Cole, who had spent much of 2024 on the shelf after injuring his leg during a run-in at last year’s AEW Grand Slam, made his surprise return at WrestleDream following MJF’s own return to the company. After Jack Perry blasted Daniel Garcia from behind with the TNT title, MJF went in for the attack until Cole’s music hit. MJF quickly bailed as Cole helped Garcia to his feet.
After his injury, Cole revealed himself as the mastermind behind attacks that took place toward the end of 2023, forming a new group called The Undisputed Kingdom. However, he spent most of 2024 away from TV, and with Wardlow also out of action, the stable has since reverted into a trio consisting of Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett.
It was also announced that Shelton Benjamin will make his AEW in-ring debut on Wednesday, taking on Li o Rush.
AEW later announced that Jay White would be taking on Christian Cage on Wednesday. Additionally, They put up a Dynamite graphic highlighting Jon Moxley’s AEW World title win at WrestleDream, with the graphic reading “Jon Moxley is the AEW World Champion. Nobody is safe.”
Here is the updated lineup for Wednesday:
- Mercedes Mone vs. Queen Aminata
- Shelton Benjamin vs. Lio Rush
- Jay White vs. Christian Cage
- Adam Cole returns
- Jon Moxley is the AEW World Champion
