"Finally DX reunion we all been asking for on AEW" - Twitter erupts to WWE Hall of Famer returning to the promotion next week
The wrestling world recently reacted to boxing legend Mike Tyson being announced to return on next week's AEW Rampage.
Tyson first appeared in All Elite Wrestling at the 2020 Double or Nothing pay-per-view, handing Cody Rhodes the TNT Title after his victory over Lance Archer. His last appearance for the promotion was as an enforcer during Chris Jericho's match against Dax Harwood on the April 14, 2021 edition of Dynamite.
The boxing legend was also a part of D-Generation X for a brief period in the late 1990s in WWE. He was then inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012.
AEW recently announced that The Baddest Man on the Planet will be making his return on next week's Rampage as a guest announcer.
The Twitterati erupted to the news, and below are some of the reactions to the same:

Sammy Guevara has previously opened up on Mike Tyson's nixed plans during his initial run with AEW
While speaking during his appearance on AEW Unrestricted in 2020, Guevara revealed that Tyson was supposed to knock him out during his first stint in All Elite Wrestling.
The Spanish God added that he was not scared and was looking forward to the segment.
"So, I think Chris [Jericho] has said this before, but the original plan was for Tyson to knock me out. Which I was all for. And I remember people were coming up to me like, 'Hey, just don't move. You'll be fine. And I wasn't scared at all. I was like, 'hey, even if he hits me and I wake up in a hospital. Like, it's going to be a hell of a moment,'" said Guevara.
AEW confirmed last night that Mike Tyson would return to the promotion on next Friday’s episode of Rampage!
