This was Bandido’s first televised bout since the Jun 16, 2023 episode of AEW Rampage when he faced Konosuke Takeshita. Bandido suffered an injury in that bout that kept him sidelined until ROH Final Battle 2024. Upon his return, he suffered a concussion that once again put him on the sidelines. He did wrestle matches on the Chris Jericho Cruise.
