AEW shockingly brings back released star during Collision

A formerly popular AEW name made his shocking in-ring return in almost three years by making his Collision debut earlier tonight. He faced off against Jack Perry. This would be Marko Stunt.

Marko has not been seen in the ring on the promotion since September 2021, when he appeared in an episode of Dark: Elevation. Nine months later, he was released from the company.

Tonight on Collision, Jack Perry had an open challenge for his TNT Championship, and outcame the former AEW star. The two were once stablemates as part of Jurassic Express along with Luchasaurus, but all three former members have gone their separate ways since then.

Despite a clear size mismatch, with Marko Stunt only being 5 foot 2 inches, the Scapegoat did not have a completely smooth title defense. The match lasted longer than expected, with Stunt gaining a lot of offense due to his great agility.

However, in the end, this was all futile as Jack Perry took over the match with some heavy shots to the challenger and a running knee for the three-count. This now marks Perry's first successful title defense, and this looks to be the first of many in the coming months.
