Scorpio Sky is really happy to be back with AEW, but there was a time he wasn’t sure it would even happen.
On the July 5th edition of AEW Collision, former TNT Champion Scorpio Sky made his return after almost a two-year hiatus from the promotion. He answered Max Caster’s Open Challenge and also defeated the former member of The Acclaimed.
Recently, Scorpio Sky appeared on the Creating Character Podcast. During the episode, Sky revealed that he initially was not sure if he would ever return to the Jacksonville-based promotion. He also mentioned that his return came about in a matter of two weeks, and stated that it was Tony Khan’s idea that convinced him to return to AEW.
Scorpio Sky says he was caught off-guard by the response to his AEW return
“Everything kind of came together in a couple of weeks. Tony had an idea and I think it was a great idea. We’re going to roll forward with it. One of the things that caught me off guard, slightly….I had a feeling the live reaction would be good. I was surprised at how well it was received online. Sometimes, the internet wrestling community can be very stiff. On [Twitter/X], I’m not on it, but sometimes the AEW audience that is, they’re not always very happy to see me. I don’t know if it’s a lack of trust because we’ve had these videos before where ‘he’s coming back’ and I don’t come back. It helped that we aired it, and then I came back immediately after. There was nothing for you to have to trust. It was there. I did see a few things there and other places, and it seems the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. That actually caught me off guard.
“To be completely honest with you, there was a time where I thought I was never going back to AEW. It just felt like things were heading in that direction. That’s not what I wanted, and fortunately, it’s not what they wanted. We worked it out. I’m really happy to be back,” Scorpio Sky said. [H/T Fightful.com]
