The Butcher returns at AEW All Out

The Butcher made his return from injury at tonight’s AEW All Out PPV in Chicago.

Butcher has been out of action since April with a reported thumb injury. His last match was a TNT title shot against then-champ Darby Allin at The House Always Wins event. Butcher wrestled twice that night, winning a battle royal to earn the title shot earlier in the show.

Real name Andy Williams, The Butcher is also a guitarist for Every Time I Die. The band has a new album coming out in October. The group also has a few tour dates scheduled for the rest of 2021, with a full-scale worldwide tour beginning in January 2022.
