Another member of the War Dogs is headed to All Elite Wrestling.

On Sunday, AEW posted a video featuring NJPW’s Clark Connors announcing his return to the company.

Connors said:

“Last time you saw me in an AEW ring, I went wild at Forbidden Door. I almost made history with the biggest upset anyone has ever seen. But now, the Wild Rhino’s dead. I’m 100 proof Clark Conners. I’m a member of the best, most dangerous, vicious faction in the world, the Bullet Club War Dogs. And I’m here back in AEW to make a name for myself and kick some ass in America soon. Everybody in AEW’s on notice, ’cause none of you are my dog, for real.”

Connors’ last AEW appearance was at Forbidden Door 2022, where he competed in a fatal four-way match to crown the inaugural All-Atlantic Champion (later renamed the AEW International Championship). Pac won the match, with Malakai Black and Miro as the other competitors.

Connors’ War Dogs teammate, Gabe Kidd, wrestled on AEW Collision last night, defeating The Butcher in singles competition.

The War Dogs are currently in a transitional period after seemingly being kicked out of Bullet Club by House of Torture at The New Beginning in Osaka on February 11. Led by the returning EVIL, House of Torture attacked Kidd and Yota Tsuji after their Global Championship match. EVIL then instructed Kidd to inform David Finlay that the War Dogs were no longer part of Bullet Club.
