Welcome to the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's AEW News Roundup. Today we will take a look at a stunning return that happened on this week's Dynamite and also check out what WWE legend Jim Ross said regarding his All Elite Wrestling comeback.

So without further ado, let's begin:
Check out which wrestler EC3 finds cute RIGHT HERE
#4. Toni Storm has made her AEW return
"Timeless" Toni Storm lost the AEW Women's World Championship earlier this year to Mariah May at All In. Since her loss, she has appeared in other wrestling promotions, but not AEW. On this week's Dynamite, May locked horns with Mina Shirakawa and defeated her with a Storm Zero. To everyone's surprise, after this match, the New Zealand-native returned.
It appears like Storm has dropped the "Timeless" gimmick for now and has returned to her former self. This is the same character she portrayed on the independent circuit and in WWE.
#3. Jim Ross will make his AEW return at Worlds End 2024
The legendary Jim Ross re-signed with All Elite Wrestling earlier this year. However, due to health issues, he has hardly been seen on TV or in recent events. Thankfully, on the Grilling JR with Jim Ross podcast, the 72-year-old provided an update on his next appearance in the Jacksonville-based promotion. He revealed that he will probably be on commentary duties during the last two matches of Worlds End.
"I’m gonna be at the next AEW pay-per-view; it’s gonna be emanating from Orlando later this month. I think that’ll be my next assignment. Tony’s been putting me in the two main events, the last two matches of the pay-per-view. So hopefully that’ll continue. I figure it will. I haven’t heard anything differently [sic]. But that’s a nice trip for me. That’s a car trip, and no airplanes," Ross said. [H/T: Fightful]
Additionally, JR stated that his health has gotten better and the wound he received from radiation treatments for skin cancer is healing.

#1. Ricochet teased Joining The Hurt Syndicate
Ricochet faced House of Black’s Brody King in a Continental Classic Gold League Match on this week's Dynamite. The former WWE United States Champion was victorious. However, in an interview before this showdown, he teased joining The Hurt Syndicate.
The Hurt Syndicate will certainly get stronger with the addition of Ricochet. Furthermore, fans believe that the 36-year-old career could reach new heights with MVP's guidance.
