Adam Cole wins TNT title at AEW Dynasty

It took a match with no time limit and no outside interference, but Adam Cole finally bested Daniel Garcia to win the TNT title at Sunday’s AEW Dynasty.

Garcia was firmly in control of the first half of the match, but Cole later hit a nasty looking suplex on the ringside steps following by a Panama Sunrise on the floor to take things over. He later picked up the win after hitting back-to-back Panama Sunrises on the inside of the ring and then his running Boom knee strike for the victory.

It’s the first AEW title of any kind for Cole who held the Ring of Honor Tag Team titles with MJF in 2023. It’s his first singles title since losing the WWE NXT title in July 2020 after a year-plus run.

As noted on commentary, the win came 17 years to the day the 35-year-old began his career.

The two went to a no contest on an early-March Collision followed by a 20-minute draw later in the month, also on Collision. Those situations led to Sunday’s stipulations.

The loss ends the 26-year-old Garcia’s first AEW title run that began at last November’s Full Gear with his win over Jack Perry. He successfully defended the title seven times heading into Sunday.
