The Costco Guys (AJ and Big Justice) returned to AEW this week on Collision. After presenting the card to the crowd, the two showed up again later but were interrupted by Chris Jericho. The two sides argued, with Jericho eventually mentioning the Acclaimed. This led to Anthony Bowens interrupting and challenging Jericho to a match, which was declined. The Costco Guys had appeared at AEW Full Gear, where AJ defeated QT Marshall on the Zero Hour show. He has talked about returning to the ring after recovering from an injury.

It was a busy night. Check out what the Costco Guys did:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that can draw in other eyes to AEW and that is a good thing. The Costco Guys have a very different audience than anyone else in AEW and if the company can bring in some of those people, it could be quite the improvement. I’m not sure how long this will work, but AEW is smart to give them a try while they can, which is what happened here.
