AEW President Tony Khan recently confirmed one of the biggest stars on the roster is ill and cannot compete at Forbidden Door 2.
Khan took to Twitter ahead of the PPV to tell fans that Adam Cole would not be cleared to compete and his match with Tom Lawlor was now called off.
“Due to illness, @AdamColePro isn’t cleared tonight, therefore the Adam Cole vs @FilthyTomLawlor match is canceled. Despite the change, tonight will be an amazing show! Thank you to everyone watching #ForbiddenDoor, either here live in Toronto @ScotiabankArena or on ppv tonight!” he wrote.
