A rumor is getting some attention online suggesting that Adam Cole was not in Los Angeles for AEW Revolution because he missed his flight due to waiting for a restock of Pokemon cards.

If that sounds ridiculous - and it does - it also carries a level of believability. As we've seen, Adam Cole's physical condition has gone from trim athlete upon arriving to AEW to just incredibly slim. A lot was made of his pale skin being so pale that when the spray tanner they use to make the wrestlers look better on camera was applied to him, it turned him yellow like a Simpsons character.

Cole has been playing video games a lot more than usual and streaming his video game playing on Twitch.

The original post that had "evidence" of Cole's reason for missing Revolution has been deleted. So, either it was requested to be removed or it was a lie from the get go.

Cole did not have a match planned for the pay per view but it isn't uncommon for non-booked talent to be brought in especially if they are going to wrestle on the following week's TV which typically isn't overly far from the pay per view location. Cole has been in a babyface feud with Daniel Garcia on AEW TV of late. To say it hasn't been heating up the interest meter would be an understatement.
