Absent since July 2023, a former WWE star with a phoenix tattooed on his back is primed to rise again. But whispers don’t win wars, he needs to unleash fire. Can he reignite AEW’s dimming flame, or will he merely add to the ashes? Find out as we delve into the mysterious return of Pac, the ray of hope for Tony Khan, casting a long shadow in the squared circle.

Pac is set to return after a 6-month hiatus

WrestlePurists posted a picture of Pac on X on Jan 12th along with the tweet, “PAC, who has been out of action in AEW since July, is expected back soon”. WON confirmed the news on January 6th.

Pac aka Neville in WWE, is an AEW superstar who had been sidelined due to injury since July last year after his last match against Gravity on an episode of Dynamite. It was confirmed in August that he was healing from his injuries in the past, but nothing much was revealed.

Despite his talents, Pac was never a top-card performer in AEW. So, what’s the fuss about his return now?

A long list of injuries in the AEW roster

The answer to the question lies in the fact that many AEW superstars are on the injured list. The list includes big names like Kenny Omega, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, and MJF. The list also includes Bandido, Chuck Taylor, Jamie Hayter, Juice Robinson, Kyle O’Reilly, and Mark Davis.

Hence, the return of a talented superstar like Pac would help the AEW roster which is looking for more talent amidst their dismal performance against WWE. Pac was impressive even during his run as Neville in WWE where he became NXT Champion and Cruiser Weight Champion.
