'AEW Dynamite' Star Planned for Shocking Return by 'All In Texas'
A marquee talent for "AEW Dynamite" is reportedly being factored into plans for a return.
AEW has a slew of top active stars such as Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, The Hurt Syndicate, MJF, and Kenny Omega, to name a few. While all of the names mentioned have prominent roles on AEW TV, the company has been without one of its seasoned veterans since April 6.

Cope, formerly known as Edge under the WWE banner, was written off TV during "AEW Dynasty 2025." Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reports that while an exact return date for Cope is unknown, he is being planned for a big match during the "All In Texas" show on July 12.

After failing to capture the AEW World Trios Championship from Death Riders, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler of FTR ambushed Cope. Wheeler leveled Cope with three chair shots to the head. The former AEW TNT Champion was stretchered out of the arena, and play-by-play commentator Excalibur questioned if that was the last fans would see of Cope in an AEW ring.
There is speculation that Cope will ultimately realign with his former longtime partner Christian Cage at some point. As of late, Cage has been at odds with Nick Wayne of The Patriarchy. Some are wondering if Cage will ultimately be kicked out of the group, which would lead to a reunion with Cope.
If Cage is out of The Patriarchy by "All In Texas," then the door would be open for him to team with Cope to take on FTR.
