The 100th episode of “AEW Collision” featured some memorable moments, with the standout highlight being the surprise return of former AEW TNT Champion Scorpio Sky. He made a triumphant comeback by answering Max Caster’s open challenge in his home state of California.
The segment began with Max Caster trying to engage the Ontario, California crowd with his signature chant of “Let’s go Max, you’re the best wrestler alive,” alongside a cheeky attempt to get the audience to chant “this crowd sucks.” Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and a video montage showcased Scorpio Sky’s training sessions with renowned talents like Top Flight and Christopher Daniels, as well as his significant achievements in AEW. The crowd erupted in cheers as Sky’s music played, and he stepped out to join Daniels and Top Flight, receiving an enthusiastic welcome back from the audience.
As the match kicked off, Caster aggressively charged at Sky, but the former champion swiftly regained control of the bout. The crowd’s “welcome back” chants filled the arena as Sky delivered a quick TKO for a decisive victory in just 55 seconds.
Scorpio Sky’s absence from AEW programming since August 2024 had many wondering about his future with the company. Despite his public statements about being healthy and eager to reclaim his spot, his last televised match prior to his return was against Andrade El Idolo on the September 16, 2023, episode of “Collision.” Although he had appeared several times in Ring of Honor against various opponents, including Tony Nese and Fred Rosser, and participated in independent promotions throughout California and GCW, Sky is now poised for a potential title challenge in AEW once again.
This unexpected return not only reinvigorates the roster but also reignites excitement among fans who have been eager to see Sky back in action, hinting at future storylines and rivalries that could unfold in the coming weeks. With fresh opportunities ahead, Scorpio Sky’s comeback marks an intriguing chapter in AEW’s narrative.
