Major AEW name to return after a year and attack The Hurt Syndicate at Double or Nothing? Exploring the possibility!

At AEW Double or Nothing 2025, The Hurt Syndicate's Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are scheduled to defend their AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara). The latter are the reigning ROH World Tag Team Champions and intend to capture more gold.

There has been major development in The Hurt Syndicate storyline. Recently, the faction added a new member: MJF. Fans are now expecting this group to take its dominance to another level. However, some believe that this angle has set up the return of former TNT Champion Wardlow. Mr. Mayhem has not been seen on All Elite Wrestling's TV since March 2024. But this could change at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Back in the day, MJF and Wardlow were allies as part of The Pinnacle before they eventually turned into rivals. They certainly have kayfabe bad blood, and their paths will probably cross again. This confrontation could take place at Double or Nothing.

After Lashley and Benjamin potentially retain their title, the duo and MVP could be brutally attacked by the returning Wardlow. The former TNT Champion could then come face-to-face with his former ally. However, he may spare Friedman and leave the ring to a thunderous reaction. This would set up an amazing storyline and maybe a future world title opportunity for Mr. Mayhem. However, this is mere conjecture at this point.

WWE legend Mark Henry once predicted Wardlow to be AEW's Brock Lesnar

In a 2022 interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, when Wardlow was getting regularly featured on AEW's programming, WWE legend Mark Henry compared him to massive stars such as Brock Lesnar, The Rock, and more.
