Former AEW wrestler makes in-ring return after two years

Allie (The Bunny) has made her return to the ring.

After going two years without wrestling a match, she returned at Mystery Wrestling’s event on Sunday at The Rec Room in Toronto, located near Scotiabank Arena, host of Saturday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view.

Allie teamed with Penelope Ford on the show in a match against The Hex’s Marti Belle and Allison Kay. Ford and Allie were teammates together in AEW in late 2021 and early 2022, wrestling several matches against the team of TayJay, Tay Melo and Anna Jay.

Allie hadn’t wrestled since September 2023. She was removed from the AEW roster page in November 2023, with PWInsider later reporting that she and the company had mutually agreed on her departure.

Earlier this month, Allie revealed on social media that she had resumed in-ring training, saying:

“I haven’t had an actual wrestling match in, s–t, I think it might be two years. Many things have changed in my life and something in me just felt like I want to get back in the ring and see how it feels.”

Social media posts about Allie’s return to the ring at Mystery Wrestling in Toronto are below.

AEW injury updates on Mark Davis and The Blade

Injury updates are available for multiple AEW wrestlers.

Aussie Open’s Mark Davis has been out of action since suffering a broken wrist at AEW WrestleDream last October. Kyle Fletcher recently told WGN Radio that there is still no timetable for his tag team partner’s return.

“I can’t speak exactly on what’s going on right now with him. I think that’s his story to tell, I don’t want to be that person but he’s doing good. He will definitely be back at some stage, we don’t have an exact timeline but yeah, I can’t wait to get back in the ring with him,” Fletcher said.

The Blade and The Bunny updated fans on their status during a virtual signing with K&S Wrestlefest recently as well. The Blade has been out of action since February with a back injury but says he hopes to return by AEW All In.

“Just on the injured reserve right now but yes, still with the company,” Blade said.

Later during the signing, he was asked if he’ll be back in time for AEW All In.

“I’m hoping so,” Blade responded. “My back’s bad, it’s slowly but surely getting better but I’m hoping to be back in a couple of months.”

Blade also said he’ll be at AEW’s show in his hometown of Buffalo next week.

In April, Blade wrote on Instagram, “I’m currently off the road nursing a lower back injury. 2 bulging discs, L2 L3 and L4 L5. Plus two ruptured discs, L3 L4 and L5 S1. I’d like to thank @aew and @tonyrkhan for giving me this time off to heal.”

The Bunny hasn’t wrestled since September. She was removed from the AEW roster page in November and says she’s currently taking a hiatus from wrestling.

“I’m figure skating right now and I’m loving it. I’m acting and I’m taking a little hiatus from breaking my body weekly,” Bunny said. “19 years, I think I deserve a little break. Never say never but as of right now, I’m really enjoying my figure skating and acting. It’s very fun.”

“I have a project coming up but I can’t talk about it yet but I do have a project coming up that’s very exciting. It’s horror-related,” she added.

The Bunny removed from AEW roster page

The Bunny has been removed from AEW’s roster page and the sides have “mutually agreed to part ways” according to a report. 

PWInsider reports that The Bunny has left AEW by mutual agreement with the company. She has subsequently been removed from the roster page on the company’s website.

The Bunny last wrestled for AEW on the September 8 Rampage episode, losing in a trios match. She has wrestled just three times for the company in 2023, spending some time on the shelf due to an orbital bone injury suffered in a February match against Jamie Hayter. 

Formerly Allie in Impact Wrestling and Cherry Bomb on the indie scene, The Bunny had been with the company since 2019, as her signing was announced in March of that year. Her AEW debut came at Fyter Fest in June 2019 where she defeated Leva Bates on the Buy-In pre-show. 

Perhaps The Bunny’s biggest claim to fame with AEW came on Friday, October 15, 2021 when a Ruby Soho vs. The Bunny match on Rampage tied a Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar segment on a special airing of SmackDown on FS1 in the 18-49 demo quarter hour ratings.

Regina Di WAVE title match set for next AEW Rampage

Hikaru Shida will defend the Regina Di WAVE Championship against The Bunny on the December 9 AEW Rampage episode. 

AEW announced the title defense during this week’s Rampage. Shida captured the title at Pro Wrestling WAVE’s 15th anniversary show in Tokyo in August. She has since made two successful title defenses, including one on AEW Dark: Elevation against Emi Sakura in a match taped on August 24 that aired on the August 29 episode. 

The Bunny returned to action on AEW Dark last month following a six-month injury absence. Her last bout on AEW television came in an Owen Hart Cup qualifying match against Toni Storm on the March 30 Dynamite.

AEW also promised to announce more matches for next week’s Rampage during the December 7 Dynamite show. 

The lineup for Rampage so far: 

AEW Rampage, Friday, December 9 —

  • Regina Di WAVE Championship: Hikaru Shida (c) vs. The Bunny

AEW’s The Bunny to star in Lifetime movie ‘Bad Tenant’

AEW’s The Bunny will be on more cable TV screens soon enough as she recently wrapped filming on a new movie for Lifetime.

The Bunny (Laura Dennis) will play the role of Axelle in “Bad Tenant” which is about “a homeowner renting a room to a seemingly charming music manager who turns out to be a psychotic con man.” Axelle is one of the manager’s clients. 

Dennis has been out of action since April due to an undisclosed injury. She has recently returned to TV alongside The Butcher & The Blade but has yet to work a match.

Dennis has been in films before, appearing in 2020’s Givers of Death and 2022’s Puppet Master: Doktor Death.

While Bad Tenant doesn’t have a release date as of yet, The Bunny is also playing a role in promoting the Tampa Bay, Florida, area via the local film commission where the movie was filmed.

In order for the film production to get grant money from the area’s tourism board, stars and crew must post anywhere from three to ten times on social media about the area using specific hashtags.

AEW’s The Bunny currently out of action with injury

The Bunny is injured. 

She has been out of action for over two months now. Her last match took place on an episode of AEW Dark: Elevation taped on April 20. 

The Bunny revealed the news in a social media post on Wednesday. The nature and severity of her injury are not currently known.

“I’m injured right now but I’ll be back in the ring once I’m all healed up,” The Bunny responded to a question about her return to television. 

https://twitter.com/AllieWrestling/status/1539649512918372353

The Bunny holds a record of two wins and two losses in singles matches in AEW this year. She was defeated by Jade Cargill in a TBS Championship match on the February 23 edition of AEW Dynamite. The Bunny was also defeated by Toni Storm in a qualifying match for the Owen Hart Foundation tournament on the March 30 edition of Dynamite. Her victories this year have come over Kaitland Alexis and Erica Leigh. The Bunny’s career record in AEW is 33 wins and 27 losses.

Jade Cargill vs. The Bunny TBS title match set for AEW Dynamite

A TBS Championship match has been added to Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.

TBS Champion Jade Cargill will defend her title for a fourth time, taking on The Bunny. The contest was set up in a backstage segment on tonight’s Rampage episode, where The Bunny and Matt Hardy confronted Cargill and Mark Sterling as Cargill and Sterling were being interviewed. 

Cargill won the TBS title in a tournament final on the January 5 Dynamite, defeating Ruby Soho to become the inaugural champ. She has since made successful defenses against Anna Jay, Julia Hart, and AQA. 

Three matches are now official for Dynamite. A battle royal will also be held to determine one of the teams to challenge Jurassic Express in a three-way at next month’s Revolution pay-per-view, plus The House of Black will take on PAC and Penta El Zero Miedo. Additionally, Chris Jericho and Eddie Kingston will have a face-to-face on the show.

Two matches added to Saturday night AEW Dynamite

Two new matches have been announced for this week’s special Saturday edition of Dynamite.

Dante Martin will face Matt Sydal in a singles match. This is a rematch from an episode of AEW Dark from earlier this month, where Sydal defeated Martin. Martin has been in singles action as his brother and tag team partner, Darius Martin, recovers from an ACL injury. His most recent high-profile match took place last month when he lost a TNT title match to Miro.

Kris Statlander, meanwhile, will face The Bunny in a singles match. Orange Cassidy will be in Statlander’s corner, while The Blade will be in Bunny’s.

Already announced for this Saturday’s show is Kenny Omega vs. Jungle Boy for the AEW World title and Hangman Page vs. Powerhouse Hobbs

After Saturday, AEW will run one final show at Daily’s Place, returning to their normal Wednesday timeslot on June 30. The first show back on the road will be Road Rager on July 7 in Miami.

Darby Allin & Sting appearance announced for AEW Dynamite

Two new segments have been announced for Friday’s AEW Dynamite.

A segment with Darby Allin and Sting will take place. This follows their win at AEW Double or Nothing last Sunday, where they defeated Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. It was the first time in six years Sting competed in a non-cinematic wrestling match.

In a new match added to the show, Red Velvet will face The Bunny (Allie) based on an angle that took place on Monday’s AEW Dark: Elevation. The Bunny used brass knuckles on Big Swole to pin her in a tag match. Red Velvet, who teamed with Swole, is looking for retribution.

Other matches announced for Friday include:

  • Christian Cage and Jungle Boy vs. Private Party
  • Young Bucks vs. PAC and Penta El Zero Miedo
  • Dustin Rhodes vs. Nick Coromoto in a bullrope match
  • Cody Rhodes and Lee Johnson vs. QT Marshall and Anthony Ogogo

AEW Dynamite live results: Full Gear fallout, PAC returns

AEW Dynamite airs live tonight from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida. 

After defeating Chris Jericho at Full Gear, MJF will be inducted into The Inner Circle tonight. MJF faked being hit by a baseball bat at Full Gear to create an issue between Jericho and referee Aubrey Edwards, allowing MJF to roll Jericho up and pin him while holding the tights. 

Natural Nightmares vs. The Butcher and The Blade (w/The Bunny) has been announced. This feud began on AEW Dark where it was revealed that The Bunny had been seducing QT Marshall only to financially ruin him before she returned to her Bunny persona and her real-life husband, The Blade. 

An appearance by new number one contender to Jon Moxley’s AEW World Championship Kenny Omega was announced earlier today. 

A Cody Rhodes promo has also been advertised. Rhodes lost the TNT Championship to Darby Allin at Full Gear. 

Penta El Zero M vs. Rey Fenix will take place. The tag partners faced off in the first round of the World title eliminator tournament. Fenix came away with the win, but Penta took his place in the second round against Kenny Omega after Fenix was injured. 

Shawn Spears (w/Tully Blanchard) will take on Scorpio Sky. This bout was originally slated for last week, but Sky was pulled from the show due to COVID contact tracing. 

Brian Cage vs. Matt Sydal and Tay Conti vs. Red Velvet have also been announced for the show. 

Tony Khan has also promised that “the balance of power in wrestling will shift tonight.”

Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time. 

**********

Dynamite has a fresh presentation package, including a new intro and revised graphics.

Taz opened the show with a promo ahead of Brian Cage’s match against Matt Sydal. He addressed Darby Allin, who was sitting high up in the audience. Taz told Allin not to interfere in the match, and to tell Cody Rhodes the same thing. Taz put over Sydal, and notably said that Sydal has a win over Chris Jericho, which was either a mistake where Taz meant to say “Christopher Daniels” or a reference to their WWE days.

Brian Cage (w/ Taz & Ricky Starks) defeated Matt Sydal

Taz joined commentary. Sydal surprised Cage with a couple kicks. Cage popped up and beat him down with power moves and strikes. Sydal would occasionally hit some hopeful offense, but Cage’s power was too much. Cage taunted Sydal by curling him.

Cage got cocky and attempted a hurricanrana, which Sydal turned into a hurricanrana before hitting a brutal meteora on the ramp. Sydal hit kicks and a standing corkscrew moonsault for two. Cage went for the Drill Claw, but Sydal fought out. Sydal hit a roundhouse kick but was leveled with a lariat before countering out of the Drill Claw into a cradle for a close near fall.

Sydal attempted a top-rope blockbuster, but Cage caught him out of midair right into the Drill Claw for the win.

After the match, Starks cut a promo, emphasizing how he and Cage are both now on the men’s singles rankings. “The revolution will be televised.”

**********

Cody Rhodes made his full entrance and congratulated Darby Allin on his championship victory. Cody will not be seeking a rematch, and instead wants a match with MJF. Some tall bodybuilder woman entered the ring, took the microphone, and accused Cody of lying.

Her name is Jade Cargill, and she called herself the “total package”. She’s been sitting on the sidelines studying her competition. Cargill said that Cody wants to topple giants, but there’s nothing giant about Cody.

Cargill told Cody to keep his thoughts to himself, and told him to watch his back, before sarcastically congratulating him on his name. Cargill said that Cody was too scared to go by just one name, and said that the giant she’s representing was Shaq (Shaquille O’Neal). 

Brandi Rhodes came out and tore into Cargill, but Cargill was unfazed. Cargill gave Brandi a lovetap on the way out before Jerry Lynn came out to prevent the fight.

With Cody distracted, Cage re-entered the ring and laid him out. He and Starks attacked Cody, but Allin’s music played, and he made the save. Cody’s music played as Will Hobbs made his way out to even the odds.

**********

Alex Marvez interviewed Jon Moxley. When Moxley came to AEW he wasn’t interested in championships, but now, the world title represents every single one of the fans. He has a big challenge ahead with Kenny Omega. He’s beaten Omega once, but beating him twice is another story.

They announced that Moxley will the AEW World Championship against Omega in three weeks, on the December 2 episode of Dynamite. It was billed as the “biggest match in Dynamite history.”

**********

Natural Nightmares (Dustin Rhodes & QT Marshall) defeated The Butcher & The Blade (w/ Allie) in a Bunkhouse Match

This was tons of fun.

There are no disqualifications or countouts in a Bunkhouse match. Everyone in the match was wearing jeans and there were props next to the stage. 

Marshall attacked before the bell and the Natural Nightmares worked over their opponents on the floor. Dustin hit the Final Reckoning on Blade through a chair. Bunny distracted them, and Blade smashed a guitar over Marshall’s head as Dustin grabbed a bullrope. Dustin set up to use the rope but was leveled with a chair shot from Butcher.

The camera cut to Marshall, who was bloodied. Bunny handcuffed Dustin to the ropes. It was all Butcher and Blade during the commercial break as Dustin was helpless and Marshall was incapacitated.

A ladder and a kendo stick were introduced during the break. Dustin grabbed the kendo stick, so Blade tackled him, but in the process, Dustin was set free from the cuffs. He made a one-man comeback after flipping off his opponents.

Dustin and Butcher fought with weapons abnd brawled over to a staging area. Marshall blinded Butcher with a fire extinguisher, allowing Dustin to bulldog him through a plywood structure.

Back in the ring, Blade had been opened up badly. Marshall and Blade’s relationship with Allie/Bunny was the focus of this feud, so they brawled in the ring before Marshall cracked him with a trashcan. Marshall climbed a ladder and hit an elbow drop from the top, but Blade got his shoulder up at two. 

Butcher and Dustin made their way back into the fight as the latter hit signature offense before they whiffed on a Code Red. Butcher and Blade hit the Full Death through chairs, but Marshall broke up the pin. Marshall hit a chain-assisted Diamond Cutter on Butcher and Blade into Bunny, which sent her through a table. Dustin nailed Blade with a cowbell and Marshall hit the cutter for the win.

**********

Matt Hardy cut a promo from his compound. He said that Sammy Guevara earned his respect through all the violence and that Guevara will be a big star.

**********

MJF’s Inner Circle Induction Ceremony

There was a podium set up in the ring. Chris Jericho came out, addressed the crowd, and invited out the original Inner Circle first. Hager, Santana, and Ortiz came out without Guevara, but Jericho brushed it off.

Next were MJF and Wardlow, both of whom are being inducted into the Inner Circle. MJF took the podium and acted all emotional, saying he overcame the adversity of a one million dollar loan and handled the burden of being the ratings champion. He then read a prepared poem, but he was just plagiarazing the rapper Drake’s song “All Me”.

Santana and Ortiz got heated, but Jericho calmed everyone down and said the Inner Circle would be stronger than ever, imploring everyone to make it work. 

MJF said they weren’t just here to celebrate his induction, they were also celebrating Jericho’s birthday as confetti and balloons rained down. He announced that the Inner Circle was headed to Las Vegas next week, and the trip was on him, before singing “Happy Birthday” to close the segment.

**********

Alex Marvez interviewed the Young Bucks. In a funny moment, he flinched when their dressing room opened, expecting to be superkicked. The Bucks called the tag championships the biggest achievement of their career.

Matt mentioned that they received a message from Top Flight, the high-flying team of brothers that’s appeared on Dark, and then Matt granted them a tag team championship opportunity next week. 

**********

Shawn Spears (w/ Tully Blanchard) defeated Scorpio Sky

This was the culmination of a feud. They traded big moves early on. Ahead of the commercial, Sky went for a dive, but Spears sprung up and suplexed him.

Back from break, Sky fought out of C4 and hit a plancha and a slingshot cutter. Spears had set up stairs on the outside. Sky attempted a diving clothesline off of them, but Spears kicked him out of the air before dropping Sky with a sidewalk slam onto the stairs. 

Spears went for the TKO, but Spears turned it into a sharpshooter. Tully dropped Spears’ Kevlar slug gimmick in the corner and distracted the referee and Sky. Spears crushed Sky with a steel slug inserted into his left glove, and that was enough to get the three count.

**********

During the previous match, Cody Rhodes & Darby Allin vs. Brian Cage & Ricky Starks of Team Taz was announced for next week’s Dynamite.

**********

Dasha Gonzalez had been sitting with Kenny Omega for an interview, but Omega left in a hurry. They cut to Alex Marvez, who had caught up to Omega outside. Marvez asked for Omega’s thoughts on being the next world championship challenger.

Omega said that he needs the championship to live up to the standards of the Kenny Omega we saw in New Japan. He’s ready to assume the responsibility of being world champion, and noted that despite their previous encounter, this is the first official match between him and Moxley. He closed the interview with an intriguing cliffanger: Omega has a flight to catch.

**********

Tay Conti (w/ Anna Jay) defeated Red Velvet (w/ Brandi Rhodes)

Conti took control with judo throws before a commercial break. Velvet came back with clotheslines and a cazadora bulldog before following it up with double knees and a stunner for two.

They downed each other with double roundhouse kicks. Jay slipped a chair to Conti, but Conti didn’t want to cheat, and she kicked it out of the ring. Velvet surprised her with a leg lariat for a near fall, but missed a dropkick. Conti followed with a pump kick and a Gory Special transitioned into a knee strike for the victory.

**********

Alex Marvez interviewed Jericho, MJF, and the rest of the Inner Circle. They celebrated with their tickets to Las Vegas. Sammy Guevara approached. Guevara missed the induction ceremony because he didn’t get a follow-up email about where it would take place, but MJF was adamant he sent it.

**********

They replayed the Best Friends/Sabian & Miro angle from Full Gear and announced Kip Sabian vs. Orange Cassidy for next week.

**********

Eddie Kingston cut a promo. Even though he said “I quit,” he will never stop wrestling and will become world champion. Penta vs. Fénix is next, and all Kingston can say to the fans is “you’re welcome.”

Penta El Zero Miedo defeated Rey Fénix

This was a very good match but it wasn’t quite as great as their previous encounter.

Kingston joined commentary and they teased dissension as Kingston clearly favors Penta. The Lucha Bros traded kicks right away. They traded cradles before Fénix sent Penta outside with a hurricanrana. Fénix set up for a dive, but Penta backdropped him to the floor. Penta tore at his brother’s mask and flattened him with a thrust kick. 

A lot of Fénix’s face was exposed during and after Penta’s attack on his mask. Schiavone accused Kingston of breaking up a great tag team. They brawled outside during the break and Penta maintained control of the match.

Penta set up for the package piledriver but Fénix turned it into a cradle. Fénix hit a handspring cutter before returning the favor and ripping his brother’s mask. We just about saw Penta’s entire face. They traded headbutts and Penta hit a flipping DDT for two.

A tijeras sent Penta outside before Fénix laid him out with a tornillo dive. Fénix hit a senton atomico for two. They fought on the apron as Penta hit the package piledriver right on the ring frame. On the floor, Penta hit a destroyer. 

Back in the ring, Penta hit a second package piledriver for the win.

**********

Kingston immediately grabbed a microphone and congratulated Penta before pushing Fénix out of the ring. He said that Penta doesn’t need that dead weight. 

He was interrupted by the returning PAC, who said that the Bastard is back and that Kingston made a bad mistake. Officials came out to prevent the brawl.

It was announced that PAC will make his in-ring return on next week’s Dynamite, facing The Blade.

Bunkhouse match, Red Velvet vs. Tay Conti set for AEW Dynamite

Three matches have been announced for this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. 

Already announced on this week’s episode, Natural Nightmares (Dustin Rhodes & QT Marshall) vs. The Butcher and The Blade will now be a bunkhouse match. No further details as to what that stipulation represents were announced. In storyline, The Bunny, formerly Allie, pretended to be romantically interested in Marshall. After maxing out Marshall’s credit cards, Allie supposedly returned to her real-life husband, The Blade. 

In women’s division action, Tay Conti will take on Red Velvet. Velvet, who is coming off a loss to Nyla Rose on this week’s Dynamite, will have Brandi Rhodes in her corner. 

The Lucha Bros will also face off in a singles match as Rey Fenix faces Penta El Zero M. The two met in the first round of the AEW World title eliminator tournament on October 21. Fenix was victorious but was also injured in the match. As a result, Penta took his place in the tournament semifinals against Kenny Omega. 

AEW Dynamite airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern time on TNT.

WEDNESDAY NEWS UPDATE

WWE

  • Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang on Talk is Jericho said that if Joe Biden wins in November, he would be in a position to inform the new Secretary of Labor regarding WWE’s business practices. “If we win, I’m going to be in a position where I can call up the Secretary of Labor or in this case, it’s the National Labor Relations Board and then, bring suit against WWE and say, “Hey, I think you’re misclassifying your employees here and the damages would be really significant,”, Yang told Jericho (h/t Post Wrestling). “So, that is more or less the plan. We may need to have some brave performer or ex-performer come forward and say “Look, here are the practices”, and I have been contacted by folks who are like “Look, I believe in this and I’m at a point in my career where they can’t really do anything to me anyway, so let’s have at this” because customarily for a National Labor Relations Board action it typically has to be an employee that initiates, so that is one of the trickier elements of this. But I’m very confident we can get there because there are a lot of people that recognize this is wrong and it’s been going on for far too long.”
