Spoiler: Absent Talent Expected to Return at AEW Dynasty

AEW Dynasty is already loaded with major matches, but a new spoiler suggests fans could see a familiar name finally make their return during the show.

The mystery surrounding the AEW World Trios Championship match started on AEW Collision when Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong challenged The Dogs for the titles. During the segment, they revealed they would have a mystery partner joining them at Dynasty, immediately sparking speculation about who could fill that spot. Now, that mystery may have been solved.

According to Bodyslam.net, Kyle O’Reilly is expected to make his return to AEW tonight at Dynasty and team with Cassidy and Strong in the Trios Title match. O’Reilly has been absent from AEW television for months, making this a potentially big return if it happens as planned.

“Kyle O’Reilly is set to make his AEW return tonight at AEW Dynasty to team with Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong. O’Reilly was last seen on AEW TV back in December.”

O’Reilly’s possible return would mark his first appearance since December and would reunite him with longtime ally Roderick Strong. That alone could give Cassidy and Strong a major boost heading into a title match that already carries a lot of stakes.

AEW Dynasty already features several major matches, including MJF defending the AEW World Championship against Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley facing Will Ospreay for the Continental Title. Adding a returning star into the mix would give the show another major moment fans won’t want to miss.

With Dynasty set to take place tonight, all eyes will be on the Trios Championship match to see if the mystery partner reveal delivers the return many fans have been waiting for.
