Megan Bayne officially returned to AEW during the January 15 episode of Dynamite, marking her reentry into Tony Khans roster after a year-and-a-half absence. The former STARDOM competitor made her presence felt in the womens Casino Gauntlet match, adding a powerful new dynamic to AEWs womens division.
Baynes return has been long speculated, with fans wondering if her absence signaled a departure. According to Fightful Selects Sean Ross Sapp, AEW sources have clarified that Bayne has been signed with the company for quite some time, even during her hiatus from in-ring action. However, sources close to Bayne had previously indicated she might have been a free agent at one point, creating some confusion about her status. AEW insists that Bayne has been under contract throughout, and her recent debut marks the official start of her anticipated run in the company.
The womens Casino Gauntlet match was the perfect stage for Baynes return, featuring top-tier competitors like Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter. Fans of Bayne, who gained viral attention online for her striking looks and athleticism, are eager to see how she establishes herself in the competitive AEW womens division.
Baynes reemergence raises questions about her potential impact in AEW and her role in future storylines. With AEW committed to expanding its womens roster, all eyes will be on Bayne to see if she can rise to the top.
