Welcome back. Injuries are some of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler and unfortunately they can take a long time to be resolved. A wrestler can miss all kinds of time as a result of an injury, but at the same time it can lead to quite the moment when they are allowed to get back in the ring. That will be the case again, as a reigning champion is back after several months away.

AEW President Tony Khan has announced that Wheeler Yuta will be returning to the ring this week on Dynamite after a nearly five month absence. Yuta, the reigning Ring Of Honor Pure Rules Champion, will team with the Blackpool Combat Club to face CMLL’s Magnus, Volador Jr, Rugido and Esfinge. This will be Yuta’s first match since January due to a concussion, though he has remained champion during his absence.

Opinion: That is great to hear as you never want to see someone sitting on the sidelines due to injury. Any kind of a head injury is even worse, as you never know how long something like that is going to go away. I’m not sure why the Pure Rules Title wasn’t vacated in Yuta’s long absence, but either way, it’s great to have Yuta back after such a long absence.
