Darby Allin Expected to Return to AEW for All In: Texas

Darby Allin, a former AEW TNT Champion, is expected to return imminently to AEW, likely making an appearance at the All In: Texas pay-per-view, following a successful Mount Everest expedition that kept him out for much of 2025. While specific creative plans for Allin's return remain unknown, revenge against the Death Riders, who injured him last year, is a plausible storyline. Meanwhile, AEW veteran Christopher Daniels (Cope) has hinted that his in-ring career is nearing its end, reflecting on a long and fulfilling wrestling journey. Fans are also awaiting the return of Orange Cassidy, a two-time AEW International Champion, who has been sidelined since March due to a suspected torn pectoral muscle, with no firm timetable for his comeback. Additionally, The Beast Mortos, who debuted in AEW last year and recently main-evented Dynamite, is set to return to Mexico's CMLL promotion for the first time in over 14 years, participating in a six-man tag match on July 4. AEW continues to navigate an 'injury bug' affecting multiple top stars, including Jay White, Juice Robinson, Buddy Matthews, and Eddie Kingston, impacting its roster availability.
