Bandido officially made his televised return to the ring on the February 8th episode of AEW Collision, taking on Bryan Keith.
Bandido was victorious in the bout, hitting the 21 Plex.
Bandido has been going after the Learning Tree (Chris Jericho, Keith, & Big Bill) since ROH Final Battle.

This was Bandido's first televised bout since the Jun 16, 2023 episode of AEW Rampage when he faced Konosuke Takeshita. Bandido suffered an injury in that bout that kept him sidelined until ROH Final Battle 2024. Upon his return, he suffered a concussion that once again put him on the sidelines. He did wrestle matches on the Chris Jericho Cruise.
