Bandido return vignette airs on AEW Dynamite
Bandido is on his way back to AEW.
A return vignette for the star aired during Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite episode, signaling his imminent return to the promotion after 18 months on the shelf.
The 29-year-old Bandido suffered a wrist injury in June 2023 and underwent surgery to repair the injury that month. A second surgery was then deemed necessary after the wrist did not heal properly, with the star undergoing his second surgery for the injury in December 2023.
We reported at the end of October that Bandido had been backstage at an AEW event and was ready to return.
After a standout international career including CMLL in Mexico and a legacy-defining rivalry with Hiromu Takahashi in NJPW, Bandido officially signed with AEW in November 2022, reportedly turning down a WWE offer to sign with the company.
