During the AEW Dynasty Post Show Media Scrum, Adam Cole responded to a question about what it meant to win the championship in Philadelphia on the 17th anniversary of his pro wrestling debut. He said the moment ranked among the most meaningful in his entire career.
'God. So, again, anytime there's any sort of anniversary for me in wrestling specifically, you go back and reminisce on the most special and important moments of your career and this one has gotta be toward the top. I mean, just considering the past few years and the struggles I've gone through with the head injuries, and then, six months later, my ankle exploded.'
'That took over a year to come back from. So mentally, it was really discouraging. And then to fast forward April 6, 2008, I had my very first match here in Philadelphia. And now, to fast forward to April 6, 2025, and win my first singles championship in AEW, against a guy I really respect in Danny Garcia it was incredibly special. I'll never forget it.'

Update On Kamille's AEW Absence, When She Might Return
Kamille hasn't been seen in AEW for months, but is she any closer to returning? The former NWA Women's Champion signed with AEW last year and was aligned with Mercedes Moné. That alliance was short-lived, and Kamille hasn't been seen since their split more than six months ago. Advertisement According to a new report from Fightful (via Fightful Select), those close to Kamille have been quiet about her inactivity in AEW, but it's apparently for a good reason. The outlet reports that similar to Wardlow, Kamille is also busy working on a television project that will 'have her busy through part of the summer.' It's unclear if Kamille met with Tony Khan and decided to keep her off TV until the project is completed, and talent was said to be 'in the dark' about her absence. Some reportedly felt that Tony Khan soured on the partnership with Moné. Other sources clarified that Mercedes was willing to work with Kamille and do a match. The match didn't happen, but it was at least discussed back in December 2024. Kamille left TV after splitting from Mercedes Moné on the November 27, 2024 episode of Dynamite. Is Kamille still under AEW contract? Kamille still has 'plenty of time left on her AEW deal,' but has not wrestled this year, aside from a battle royal appearance in February. Her last match in AEW was a loss to Kris Statlander on the October 30, 2024 episode of Dynamite. Advertisement She and Damaris Lewis spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard while promoting Queen of the Ring. The film features Kamille (billed as Kailey Latimer in the credits) as June Byers, while Lewis took on the role of Babs Wingo. Kamille was asked when fans could expect to see her back on TV. However, she indirectly declined to answer the question, and Lewis answered for her. 'My client has chosen not to comment on the matter at hand. But we are open to more questions,' Lewis replied. The post Update On Kamille's AEW Absence, When She Might Return appeared first on Wrestlezone.
