Hero has been working backstage at AEW events.

When a fan suggested Hero compete in Blood & Guts, AEW Owner Tony Khan said he's chipping away on Hero.

Blackpool Combat Club and The Elite both need one more team member for Blood & Guts. Claudio Castagnoli, who famously teamed with Hero as the Kings of Wrestling in ROH and other independent promotions, is part of Blood & Guts as a member of Blackpool Combat Club.

Blood & Guts is set to take place on the July 17 episode of AEW Dynamite. Fans can learn more about the match by clicking here.
