AEW Teases Returns of Eddie Kingston, Britt Baker, Riho After Long Absences

Several AEW stars are making notable comebacks or facing setbacks as the wrestling promotion heads into September 2025. Eddie Kingston, sidelined since May 2024 due to a broken leg and torn ACL, was publicly called out by Big Bill on the September 6 episode of AEW Collision, signaling a potential return, though Kingston has yet to be medically cleared. Dalton Castle also returned on the same episode, forming a new alliance with The Outrunners, marking his end to a prolonged absence from AEW television. Meanwhile, Britt Baker, absent from AEW TV for nearly a year, remains in shape and under contract, with AEW President Tony Khan denying rumors of her departure, suggesting her return could be imminent. Additionally, Riho made a surprise return on September 3 during AEW Dynamite, immediately setting up a TBS Championship title feud with Mercedes Mone for the All Out pay-per-view. In less positive news, Jay White is confirmed to miss the remainder of 2025 due to an unspecified injury.
