Countdown begins for AEW star's return after not competing for nearly one and a half years 

One of AEW's highly-awaited returns may be happening very soon. Another teaser of his arrival was shown tonight on this week's edition of Dynamite.

Bandido has not competed in the promotion since June 2023, when he played a singles match against Konosuke Takeshita on an episode of AEW Rampage. He broke his wrist during the match and had multiple surgeries, which caused his hiatus.

Last week, a cinematic vignette aired, hinting at his return for the first time in almost one and a half years. A second one aired tonight, this time showing the luchador himself in a fighting scene. This showed that he was ready and gearing up to return to AEW.

Bandido also took to X/Twitter to react to this, claiming that he was back. It remains to be seen when he'll officially return to the promotion.

"THE MOST WANTED IS BACK! 🔫💰💰," he wrote.

Back in August, it was reported that the luchador was not cleared for action but was nearing his return. It has been around four months since then, and Bandido looks to once more re-introduce himself to the roster. He'll be an individual to watch out for in the coming weeks.
