Mark Davis has returned to AEW.
On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Davis, who has been out of action since last October, made his return to confront Kyle Fletcher after he was attempting to call out Will Ospreay.
Davis came out on the stage and told Fletcher that Ospreay wasn’t there. He then questioned Fletcher about why he turned on Ospreay. Fletcher responded by saying that he knew the truth about their former stablemate.
As Fletcher attempted to welcome Davis into the Don Callis Family, Davis wanted nothing to do with it and said Fletcher destroyed their United Empire.

Kenny Omega says Tony Khan and All Elite Wrestling opening the “forbidden door” has made the competition tougher on the whole.
While speaking with NJPW for a new interview, Omega was asked about the forbidden door concept and how it has affected the industry. He said,
“I think that the concept of the Forbidden Door now. Now that the door’s been booted wide open, it’s less of a — the way that I used to picture the Forbidden Door, you picture the cartoony door at the pearly gates, it’s like you need that special permission to open that thing up. Now, I just feel like it’s a revolving door. But you go out one end, you don’t come back the other, unless you have that passion because it’s opened the talent pool so wide, and it’s made our roster so diverse with so many options that if you aren’t a complete athlete, if you aren’t a complete wrestler, you just can’t hang.”
He continued, “So is it special? Maybe it’s lost a smidge of specialness by being able to cross over that plane. But it’s made the competition that much stiffer, and it’s made the competition that much tougher. You can’t succeed now unless you’re absolutely, not only the best in America, but the best in England, the best in Australia, the best in New Zealand, the best in Japan. You have to be one of the world’s best athletes to succeed now in today’s global wrestling climate, and I think the Forbidden Door helped facilitate that.”
