AEW Tag Team Cleared for In-Ring Return After Year-Long Absence

The AEW locker room just got a little tougher—The Workhorsemen are officially back.

Anthony Henry and JD Drake took to social media this week to announce that they’ve both been “100-percent officially cleared to return to the ring.” The duo, who haven’t been seen in AEW action since their last appearance on Collision back in May 2024, broke the news with a short but powerful update:

“It’s been a long year, but The Workhorsemen are both 100-percent officially cleared to return to the ring. Let us rejoice!”

Henry and Drake have long been fan favorites for their gritty, no-nonsense style and hard-hitting tag team chemistry. Their absence was felt on the AEW tag scene, but now that both men are cleared, fans are already speculating on who they’ll target first.

Their return could shake things up as AEW looks to revamp its tag division going into the summer months. Whether it’s a Collision rematch or a full-on revenge tour, The Workhorsemen are clearly ready to remind the world what they bring to the table.
