The “Most Wanted Man” is coming back to AEW. On the December 4th episode of AEW Dynamite, fans were treated to an intriguing vignette teasing the return of Bandido. With a Wild West flair, the promo set the tone for what promises to be a high-stakes comeback for the former ROH World Champion.
The vignette opens with two cowboys in a saloon, nervously discussing Bandido’s imminent return. One warns, “If this outlaw returns, this whole town is in trouble.” The cryptic teaser had fans on the edge of their seats, but it left out one key detail—a specific return date for Bandido’s highly anticipated comeback.
AEW stoked the flames even further by sharing the vignette on social media, captioning it: “MOST WANTED: Rumor has it former ROH World Champion BANDIDO is coming back to town…” Bandido himself added to the excitement, retweeting the post and dropping a simple “MOST WANTED” along with a cowboy emoji.
Bandido has been sidelined since June 2023 due to a wrist injury, requiring two surgeries—one in July and a follow-up in December of last year. His absence has been keenly felt, but the vignette suggests he’s ready to make an unforgettable impact upon his return.
As fans eagerly await more details, speculation is running wild about how Bandido will shake things up in AEW. Will he target old rivals or set his sights on gold? One thing is certain: the “Most Wanted Man” is about to leave his mark.
