A top AEW star returned at tonight's Dynamite. The former TNT Champion in question is Darby Allin. He came back after more than six weeks. The Relentless star went through a lot of damage in the last few months.

Weeks before climbing Mount Everest, he hurt his foot and postponed the quest. Allin was then hit by a bus while on hiatus and sustained an injury to his nose. Despite not being cleared, the former TNT Champion returned before Double or Nothing and joined Team AEW against The Elite in the Anarchy in the Arena bout.

With Blood and Guts right around the corner, Team Elite has completed all five members with "Hangman" Adam Page's inclusion. Recently, the latter lost to Bryan Danielson and failed to capture the Owen Hart Cup. Also, the opposite team includes Swerve Strickland and Mark Briscoe, but three members have yet to be announced.

On tonight's Dynamite, Darby Allin attacked Brandon Cutler and announced he would be present on the 250th edition of Dynamite next week to confront The Elite. He will seemingly join the babyface team for the Blood and Guts match.
