The Butcher returns to AEW at All Out 2021; ambushes top babyface
The Butcher returned to AEW at All Out 2021, where he joined forces with his Hardy Family Office stablemates to attack Orange Cassidy.
At the pay-per-view's pre-show, The Buy-In, Orange Cassidy, Wheeler Yuta, Chuck Taylor, and Jurassic Express defeated Matt Hardy, Private Party, and TH2.
Though the match's outcome pleased the Chicago fans, The Butcher's return and subsequent attack on Cassidy led to the crowd raining down boos.
The Butcher even threatened to cut down Orange Cassidy's hair, though The Dark Order came out in time to avoid it from happening.
The Butcher was last seen in AEW at the promotion's first-ever house show on April 9th, The House Always Wins, where he unsuccessfully challenged the then TNT Champion Darby Allin. The Butcher suffered a hand injury during the match, due to which he was out of action for months.
Now that he's back and reunited with his tag team partner, The Blade, the two could find themselves feuding with Orange Cassidy and Best Friends, going by how things went down at All Out.
Some surprises could be in store for AEW All Out 2021
The Butcher's return to AEW at All Out 2021 was the first surprise of the night, though it's surely not going to be the last one. Daniel Bryan is widely expected to make his debut for Tony Khan's promotion at the pay-per-view, with the recent reports strongly hinting at the same.
Apart from that, the rumored debuts of Adam Cole and Ruby Soho (Ruby Riott) could also go down at the show. Soho is expected by many to be the surprise participant in the Women's Casino Battle Royale.
