Shawn Spears returns to AEW on Dynamite

Shawn Spears has returned to AEW. 

Making his first appearance for the company since May, Spears returned to AEW on Dynamite in Toronto, aligning with FTR and reviving his “Perfect 10” gimmick. 

An Ontario native, Spears made his return in Toronto in the aftermath of a WarJoe (Wardlow and Samoa Joe) vs. Nick Comoroto and QT Marshall match. Prince Nana and The Embassy entered after the match to challenge WarJoe, but FTR interrupted and challenged The Embassy. Spears then returned to even the odds. 

Spears and FTR vs. ROH’s The Embassy’s Brian Cage and Gates of Agony (Kaun & Toa Liona) was teased for Friday’s Rampage episode, which will be taped Thursday in Toronto. 

FTR has been aligned with Spears in the past, as all three were members of The Pinnacle alongside MJF and Wardlow. 

An Ontario native, Spears last wrestled on the May 25 Dynamite, losing a cage match to Wardlow where MJF served as the guest referee. 

Spears and wife Cassie Lee announced this past August that they were expecting their first child.
