"Gonna be a fun one," "Vs. The Death Riders?" - Fans erupt after former champion announces AEW return after almost 3 years

Former IWGP tag champion Clark Connors recently announced that he is set to make his return to AEW soon. His last match in the Jacksonville-based promotion was at Forbidden Door 2022, where he faced PAC, Miro, and Malakai Black in a fatal four-way match to try and become the inaugural International Champion.

Additionally, Gabe Kidd made his debut on the recent edition of Collision. His opponent for the night was The Butcher, who he successfully defeated. Later, his Bullet Club War Dogs stablemate Clark Connors cut a promo, announcing his return to AEW.

It seems like the Bullet Club War Dogs (who primarily perform in NJPW in Japan) are on their way to Tony Khan's promotion in the United States. Fans are very excited to see them in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
