Adam Cole needed bone donor due to his ankle injury being “way worse” than anticipated

AEW star Adam Cole was out of action for over a year after announcing that he broke his ankle in three places and needed to have surgery. While speaking to SI.com, Cole discussed his situation…

“Ankles and shoulders are the two things with athletes where it can make no sense whatsoever. Every now and then, there are freak accidents or freak incidents that happen.”

“The first piece of news that I heard was, your ankle is way worse than we anticipated. You have to get another surgery in seven days. So, not only did I have to get double the amount of screws in my ankle, but also, I had to get someone else’s bone put into my ankle because the bone piece within my ankle just completely disintegrated. Incredibly thankful to [the donor] and the family. It’s certainly a better option. I definitely notice a difference in my left ankle as opposed to my right one, but I think that comes with the territory.”
