In regards to other surprises, Kip Sabin made his surprise return to AEW during tonight’s Dynamite show. During the main event AEW World Trios Championship tournament between Death Triangle and United Empire, PAC confronted a mystery person at ringside who was wearing a box on their head. For months, this mystery person has appeared in the crowd during AEW shows and recently had been involved in a couple of confrontations with PAC during his AEW All-Atlantic title matches overseas.

PAC unmasked this person at ringside, who ended up being some random person that had their mouth duct taped, leaving an opening for Kip Sabin to launch a surprise ambush attack and taking PAC out of the match.
