Colt Cabana made his first AEW appearance on TV since November 2022. Though he has been involved with AEW since 2019, mainly working as a coach behind the scenes, his presence on-screen has lessened over the years. This year, he has participated in dark matches for Ring of Honor, but his last televised match was in 2022 against Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship.
Cabana returned on-screen at “AEW Collision” in his hometown of Chicago, taking a spot at the commentary desk. However, he was suddenly attacked by Jon Moxley, who put him in a chokehold and hung him on the top rope, reminiscent of the way Moxley was defeated by Texas’ “Hangman” Adam Page. Following the attack, a video on AEW’s social channels showed Cabana being visited by his former Dark Order stablemates—John Silver, Alex Reynolds, and Evil Uno—hinting that the Dark Order may seek revenge against Moxley, also known as the Death Rider.
Fan Take: This return and attack reignite Colt Cabana’s storyline in AEW, offering fresh narrative possibilities and emphasizing the intensity of rivalries within the promotion. For AEW fans, it signals that long-standing characters like Cabana still play vital roles, keeping the drama and excitement alive in both AEW and ROH.
