Former Ring of Honor World Champion Bandido will make his long-awaited return to the AEW ring this Saturday on AEW Collision.
Bandido will take on Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree with Chris Jericho promising Keith he will double a $100,000 bounty if he can do to Bandido what Big Bill did to Powerhouse Hobbs recently.
The 29-year-old had been on the injured list since June 2023 with a broken wrist suffered in a match with Konosuke Takeshita that required multiple surgeries. He returned at ROH Final Battle to target Jericho, but got concussed hitting a dropkick and was out another month before returning on last Saturday’s Collision to again run off Jericho.
Bandido returned to action, ironically enough, on the Jericho Cruise this past weekend in three trios matches alongside The Outrunners.
Saturday’s show will also feature a “halftime” concert from Harley Cameron as she attempts to get a TBS title match against Mercedes Mone on Grand Slam Australia.
Here’s the current lineup for Houston, Texas:
- Harley Cameron concert
- Bandido vs. Bryan Keith
- Kyle Fletcher vs. Mark Briscoe
- Thunder Rosa vs. Penelope Ford
- Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong vs. Shane Taylor & The Infantry (Carlie Bravo and Shawn Dean) vs. Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker
