VIDEO: Bryan Alvarez & Dave Meltzer discuss Adam Cole’s in-ring return

Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed Adam Cole’s in-ring return on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.

Cole won his match against the Jericho Appreciation Society’s Daniel Garcia, defeating him with the Panama Sunrise. After the match, Chris Jericho came to the ring and helped Garcia, but not before slowly turning around and staring down Cole.

“So it looks like Adam Cole and Jericho for the pay-per-view,” Meltzer said, referring to Double or Nothing in May. “The thing with Adam Cole right now is that he needs to be a babyface, but I think he’s more comfortable as a heel.”

“Well, it ain’t his time to be a heel now,” Alvarez said. “They need a babyface.”

Meltzer said that the first week of Cole’s return doesn’t mean much in terms of lasting appeal as a babyface, as the show was built around his return. But Meltzer wondered how he would do in several weeks’ time andif the cheers would sustain.Meltzer also said that Jericho was a “good stepping stone” for Cole.
