The Butcher made his AEW return tonight during the AEW All Out pre-show, attacking Orange Cassidy.
After Cassidy, Best Friends & Jurassic Express defeated the Hardy Family Office in the show’s opening match, the HFO attacked the faces and beat down on Cassidy. The Butcher then came out and helped with the beatdown, destroying Cassidy and reuniting with The Blade and Hardy Family Office.
The Butcher last wrestled in April against Darby Allin. During that match, he reportedly “tore his thumb,” according to Fightful Select and he’s been out of action since.
