Bandido makes AEW return on Collision
A month after sustaining a concussion during his initial comeback, Bandido once again made a comeback in a Tony Khan-owned ring to target Chris Jericho as part of Saturday’s AEW Collision.
Following Jericho and Bryan Keith’s victory over The Outrunners, Jericho and Keith set up a table for Big Bill to chokeslam both men through when the Mexican star’s music hit and he ran out to make the save. After taking out Bill, he hit a tornillo on Jericho and then press slammed Keith through the table.
It was very similar to December’s Ring of Honor Final Battle where Bandido also ran out to attack the three heels. However, he concussed himself after hitting the mat following a dropkick on Jericho. He was slow to get up with the referee even checking on him at one point. Keith and Lee then did clunky-looking spots with him before eventually leaving the ring.
He later confirmed he sustained a concussion.
Bandido has been out of action since June 2023 after breaking his wrist in an AEW Rampage match with Konosuke Takeshita. Complications have kept him out longer than expected, but vignettes began appearing on AEW TV in December ago heralding his return. It appears the former ROH World Champion is targeting the current champion in his return feud.
