Five months after he couldn’t come to terms with AEW on a new deal, Stu Grayson has returned.
Grayson made a surprise return on Friday’s Rampage in a backstage segment with the Dark Order. After 10 challenged Rush to a match next week, he, Evil Uno, John Silver and Alex Reynolds put their hands together in a sign of unity.
Then, a bandaged hand appeared on top and the camera pulled back to reveal it was Grayson, much to the surprise of the group. He said he wasn’t going to miss AEW’s debut in Canada and the segment ended.
The Canadian native departed AEW in May after he and the company couldn’t come to a financial agreement on a new deal. He had been with the company since Double or Nothing in May 2019 where he and Evil Uno debuted.
It’s unknown what type of contract, if any, the 33-year-old has signed and what changed from either side since May.
After last wrestling in AEW in April, Grayson has competed nine times on the indies, nearly all of them in Canada, with more coming up.
