AEW star breaks silence after 14-year return; sends a message to Tony Khan

An AEW star sent a heartfelt message to Tony Khan after he made an unannounced return to a major promotion. Beast Mortos has been one of the most talented stars in the locker room and has been in the news headlines recently. He and Mercedes Mone recently revealed that they have been dating.

The 38-year-old star wasn't advertised for AEW X CMLL Grand Slam Mexico, but due to Claudio Castagnoli's absence, All Elite Wrestling booked Mortos on a CMLL show after 14 years. The relationship between the latter and CMLL didn't end well in 2011; therefore, the masked star has never been part of any CMLL show in the past decade.

However, now that Claudio Castagnoli could not make it to Mexico, he was replaced by Beast Mortos. Tony Khan had to pull some strings to make the in-ring return happen. At Grand Slam Mexico, Mortos stood tall with the Death Riders and Young Bucks after defeating Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, and the Opps.

Following the CMLL return, Beast Mortos took to Instagram and penned down an emotional message.

"I stepped foot in the cathedral of wrestling again after 14 years, where this wonderful dream began. Not only that, I had the opportunity for my family (my mother, nephews, and my son) to see me for the first time in my career at a big event and in an arena like the Mexico City Arena. I also want to thank @tonyrkhan and Mr. Salvador Lutterot for the opportunity to make this possible and for this dream to continue," he wrote
