All In is just a few weeks away. The blockbuster show will take place at Wembley Stadium, and many major stars will be part of it. Recently, Swerve Strickland returned to the company and confronted several stars, teasing huge plans for him.<\/p>\n<p>The former AEW World Champion wasn&#8217;t seen in the Jacksonville-based promotion after Forbidden Door. At the pay-per-view, he fought against Will Ospreay in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. The two finalists tore the house down. In the end, the Aerial Assassin emerged victorious and won the Owen Hart Cup. Meanwhile, Strickland was nowhere to be seen for over a month. Fans were worried he might not be part of All In.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Last week at Grand Slam Mexico, Hangman Page, Bandido, and Brody King defeated the Demand for the AEW World Trios Championship. Tonight, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly entered the ring to address the title win and probably talk about their plans for All In. However, before the Cowboy could even speak, his arch-nemesis, Swerve Strickland, made his much-awaited return.<\/p>\n<p>The Most Dangerous Man in AEW went on to confront the Good, the Bad and the Ugly and addressed his history with each of them. Later, a furious Ricochet made an appearance along with Gates of Agony and the Lethal Twist. The former National Champion claimed that Swerve shouldn&#8217;t interfere in the trios business, as he is currently alone and doesn&#8217;t have two teammates with him. The latter then left the ring. However, before leaving, he called Ricochet a &#8216;bi**h&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Things are still unclear as to what Swerve Strickland will do at All In this year. It seems he will have to find two partners and challenge the current trio of champions, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline bottom\" data-tab=\"bottom\">\n<p>Get all the hottest wrestling news FIRST by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=sportskeeda.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\" class=\"bottom_tagline_link\" data-tab=\"bottom\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img style=\"background: none;\" data-lazy=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img style=\"background: none;\" data-lazy=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Tejas Pagare<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-breaking-fan-favorite-star-makes-shocking-return-aew-dynamite-weeks-all-in-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A top AEW star returned on Dynamite tonight and surprised fans.
