On February 14th, All Elite Wrestling is set to return to Australia with the Grand Slam Australia Tournament. While the company has revealed several match lineups, fans can still expect some unexpected surprises as AEW makes its comeback Down Under. Whether it’s a wrestler reappearing after a lengthy break or making a comeback from a significant injury, this event could mark a pivotal moment for AEW’s future.
Here are seven wrestlers who might make their return at AEW Grand Slam Australia 2026.
7. Will Ospreay
Following AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025, Will Ospreay took time off to have neck surgery and recover from an ongoing injury. On the February 4th episode of AEW Dynamite, there was a dedicated segment highlighting Ospreay’s upcoming return. Given that the next major event is AEW Grand Slam Australia, many expect Ospreay to make his comeback there.
If AEW aims to have Ospreay back before AEW Revolution 2026, it would make strategic sense for him to return at Grand Slam Australia, potentially setting up a major rematch against Jon Moxley, the man who previously defeated him.
