Proving the speculations true, Sting was back on AEW programming at the All In 2024 pay-per-view. This happened after Jack Perry successfully defended his TNT Championship against Sting's former tag partner Darby Allin in a Coffin Match on the show.
After the match, Perry and The Young Bucks continued to attack Allin. They poured gasoline on the casket and were ready to light it on fire when the lights went out and out came Sting with his signature baseball bat.

Sting took out the Bucks with baseball bat strikes. Perry gave him a chair shot from behind but it had no effect. The legendary wrestler then put down the EVPs with Scorpion Death Drops as Perry ran away from the scene.
This appearance at All In marked Sting's first appearance on AEW TV since his retirement match at Revolution in early March where he and Allin defeated The Young Bucks over the AEW world tag team titles.
IT'S STIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

At the All In Zero Hour show, Jamie Hayter also returned to All Elite Wrestling to finish up a 15-month-long hiatus. During the comeback, she confronted Saraya, Harley Cameron, and the other family members of Saraya's family.
Saraya was initially out in an unannounced segment to cut a promo on not receiving a match on the pay-per-view main card despite winning the AEW Women's World Championship at last year's edition and also being the "best female wrestler to ever come out of England."
This led to Hayter coming out in a thunderous ovation from the audience as the UK is also her hometown. Hayter could not get her hands on Saraya but she took out the latter's cohort Harley Cameron with the Hayter-ade maneuver.
Hayter hasn't been in action since Double or Nothing 2022 PPV show where she dropped the AEW Women's World title to Toni Storm. Reports claimed that she went into the match with a shoulder injury and hence the title drop was evident.

Also at AEW All In, Will Ospreay became the new AEW International Champion by defeating MJF at London's Wembley Stadium and it came after help was offered in the form of a returning Daniel Garcia.
MJF was looking forward to punching Ospreay with a brass knuckle when a black-masked figure appeared and revealed himself to be Garcia. This distraction allowed Ospreay to hit MJF with the Hidden Blade and Tiger Driver 91 to get the pin-fall win.
Garcia has been out of action since MJF turned on him with a vicious attack on the July 3 episode of Dynamite. The return at All In also affirms the reports that he has re-signed a contract with AEW.
