Lance Archer is back.
On the February 24 episode of AEW Rampage, Archer returned to the ring for the first time since the NJPW Road to Tokyo Dome event on December 23. He hadn't wrestled on AEW TV since the November 18 episode of AEW Rampage, where he lost to Ricky Starks in a first round match in the AEW World Title Eliminator.
Archer faced local competitor Bryce Saturn on the February 24 episode of AEW Rampage, and he was accompanied to the ring by Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who had also been absent from AEW programming for several months.

Saturn took the fight to Archer early on, but "The Murderhawk Monster" still scored the dominant victory to show that he was still a force to be reckoned with.
