AEW Star Absent for Years Returns on AEW Collision

After a lengthy absence that left many fans questioning his status, Scorpio Sky made a highly anticipated return to All Elite Wrestling during the recent tapings for AEW Collision, which will air on July 5th. This marks a significant moment for the two-time TNT Champion, who has been largely absent from AEW programming for nearly two years.

Sky's last match on AEW Dynamite was on July 6, 2022, where he lost the TNT Championship to Wardlow. Since then, his appearances have been sporadic, leading to speculation and frustration among his supporters. While he had a few matches on ROH in late 2023 and some independent appearances, his main AEW television presence had dwindled. Reports indicated that despite being cleared to compete for quite some time, creative plans for him had been elusive, leaving him in a puzzling holding pattern.

However, his return at the Collision tapings signals a fresh start. Scorpio Sky answered an open challenge from Max Caster, quickly defeating him in his comeback bout. What's even more noteworthy is that Sky was accompanied by the veteran Christopher Daniels, and also had Top Flight (Dante Martin and Darius Martin) by his side, hinting at a new alignment or managerial role for Daniels. Photos from the taping show Daniels celebrating with Sky after the dominant win, clearly hyping up his return.

This new grouping with Christopher Daniels and Top Flight offers an intriguing direction for Sky. For a wrestler who has historically found success as part of a unit, from the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions SCU (SoCal Uncensored) to the "Men of the Year" with Ethan Page, this new stable could be exactly what he needs to re-establish himself. It also provides an opportunity to elevate Top Flight by associating them with a proven champion and a respected veteran like Daniels.

The return of Scorpio Sky injects a much-needed boost to AEW's roster depth, particularly in the mid-card where he has previously shone. Fans have long clamored for his consistent presence, recognizing his talent and athleticism. With his injury concerns seemingly behind him, and a clear direction seemingly established, the "Face of the Revolution" is poised to "Reach for the Sky" once again. The wrestling world will be watching to see how this new chapter unfolds for Scorpio Sky on AEW Collision and beyond.
