Former AEW TNT Champion Scorpio Sky made a return to AEW television during a recent taping of “AEW Collision.” Fans who attended reported that Sky appeared in the event titled “Clash,” accompanied by his former SoCal Uncensored teammate Christopher Daniels. The 42-year-old wrestler unfortunately experienced a loss against Maxcaster, who is on track to earn his first AEW victory in almost two years. Sky had been absent from AEW TV for nearly a year, last showing up in a behind-the-scenes segment in August, and has not been active in AEW since September 2023. Though he hasn’t competed in AEW or ROH matches recently, he has stayed active in various independent wrestling promotions over the past few months.
Reports confirm that Sky was in good health and ready to compete, but AEW kept him sidelined for over 20 months. The seasoned wrestler humorously noted that his career seemed to dip due to the lengthy break, though he remains unclear about the reasons behind his lack of AEW usage. AEW CEO Tony Khan has acknowledged Sky’s sidelining, expressing his respect and admiration for the former TNT Champion and revealing plans to feature him that, for various reasons, have yet to materialize.
Looking ahead, the 100th episode of “Collision,” scheduled to air on July 5, 2025, will showcase a matchup between Kyle Fletcher and Daniel Garcia, along with a bout between Kevin Knight and Shelton Benjamin. The program is also set to include three tag team matches, featuring a contest between FTR and The Outrunners.
Fan Take: Scorpio Sky’s return to AEW TV is a significant moment for long-time fans who have been eager to see him back in action on a major stage. This comeback could signal exciting opportunities for veteran talent within AEW, potentially bringing fresh storylines and intense competition that benefit both the fans and the sport.
