Bandido’s AEW Return Cut Short by Concussion At ROH Final Battle

After spending a year and a half recovering from injury, Bandido’s long-awaited return to AEW turned bittersweet over the weekend. The Mexican wrestling star made a surprise appearance at ROH Final Battle, confronting Chris Jericho and The Learning Tree in what was expected to be the start of a heated new storyline. However, Bandido’s moment was cut short after he suffered a concussion almost immediately upon entering the ring.

Bandido Opens Up About the Setback

Taking to Instagram, Bandido confirmed the concussion and shared his thoughts on the challenging road ahead.

“What a weekend!” Bandido wrote. “All I can do is thank God for allowing me to wake up another day after all that has happened! The blow was in a delicate area of my head, now just to wait till there is no brain inflammation.”

While expressing gratitude to his fans for their support, Bandido admitted to being frustrated by the turn of events. He described the recovery process as the “hardest battle” of his career and invoked an inspiring message, paraphrasing Rocky Balboa: it’s not about how hard you get hit, but how you get back up.

A Career Interrupted

The injury comes at a tough time for Bandido, who has faced a string of setbacks since joining AEW. His debut match in 2023 saw him take on Chris Jericho in a memorable contest for the ROH World Championship on AEW Dynamite. Unfortunately, Bandido suffered a broken wrist in June while wrestling Konosuke Takeshita on AEW Rampage, sidelining him for months.

The recent concussion not only delays Bandido’s in-ring return but also derails a planned feud with Jericho, as reported by F4WOnline. While no timeline has been provided for his recovery, the severity of concussions often varies, meaning Bandido’s time away will depend on how quickly his brain heals.

What’s Next for Bandido?

Despite the setbacks, fans and colleagues remain optimistic about Bandido’s eventual return. Known for his high-flying style and incredible charisma, Bandido has the potential to be a cornerstone of AEW and ROH once he’s fully healthy. For now, however, the focus remains on his recovery and ensuring he doesn’t rush back too soon.

Here’s wishing Bandido a full and speedy recovery

Tony Khan Confirms The End Of AEW Rampage For Now

After three years on the air, AEW Rampage is officially taking its final bow—at least for now. Tony Khan broke the news during Sunday’s AEW Dynamite taping, confirming that this Friday’s episode will be the last for the foreseeable future. The announcement, made to the live crowd, left room for a potential return down the line, but for now, Rampage will bid farewell as AEW looks toward the future of its programming.

The Final Episode: What to Expect

The final Rampage episode will feature four matches, taped at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. The card includes appearances from fan favorites like Private Party, Thunder Rosa, and HOOK. In the night’s biggest match, Chris Jericho defeated Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed, though his ROH World Championship was not at stake.

The taping capped off AEW’s three-night stay at the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom, where they also held the ROH Final Battle pay-per-view and a Saturday edition of AEW Collision. Fans at the venue and watching at home praised the shows, signaling that AEW’s experiment with smaller venues may be paying off.

What’s Next for AEW?

While Rampage is wrapping up, speculation is swirling about what’s next for AEW’s television offerings. Rumors suggest that AEW has been in talks with another media company, with Fox frequently mentioned as a possible partner. Earlier this year, AEW trademarked the name “Shockwave,” sparking chatter that it could be the title of a new series. However, no official details have been announced.

AEW’s move to sunset Rampage comes on the heels of their new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, potentially signaling a shift in their overall strategy. Whether this means a fresh weekly show or other innovative programming, fans are eager to see how the company will evolve its approach.

A Farewell, But Not Goodbye?

Tony Khan’s phrasing—“for the foreseeable future”—keeps the door open for a Rampage return. In the meantime, AEW’s focus appears to be on refining its other flagship programs and exploring new opportunities for growth.
