Top ROH Star May Require Shoulder Surgery, How It Impacted Final Battle

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that former ROH World Champion, Adam Cole, was originally scheduled to win the ROH World Championship back at Final Battle from Jay Briscoe but instead because Cole may need shoulder surgery, ROH didn't want to run the risk of having to vacate their title again. As of right now Cole is advertised for all upcoming ROH shows up until Supercard of Honor on 3/27 during WrestleMania Weekend. If surgery happens Cole could be out between 6 - 8 weeks depending on the severity of the injury.

Cole is scheduled to appear at this Saturday's PWG 'Black Cole Sun' event in Reseda, California, the event being named after him.
