Nigel McGuinness made a notable in-ring return at AEW All In, participating in the Casino Gauntlet match, which marked his first match since 2011. Originally slated to face Bryan Danielson, McGuinness had to adjust his plans due to Danielson's injury. In interviews, he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and a desire for at least one more match, ideally against Danielson or Zack Sabre Jr., citing the emotional stakes involved. McGuinness has been training regularly, indicating he's prepared for a potential comeback, although he remains content with his current role as a commentator. Despite the uncertainty of his future, he noted that if his match at All In was his last, he would be satisfied with the experience of performing in front of a large crowd. His journey reflects the unpredictability and resilience often seen in wrestling careers.
