Darby Allin has been off AEW television since December as he prepared to climb Mount Everest.
Darby reached the top of the mountain over the weekend, flying the AEW flag at the summit.
Speaking on the AEW Double or Nothing media call, Tony Khan was asked about Darby's climb.
"Darby Allin is one the greatest wrestlers in AEW and we're so proud of what he's accomplished. He did it, he successfully climbed Mount Everest. It was something that was a big goal of his.
"He went on this journey with, I think two goals in mind. One of his goals, he absolutely had to focus on as he ascended Mount Everest is this journey he was going on and becoming the first pro wrestler to ever climb Mount Everest and one of the first pro athletes. It's something he should celebrate and it's an absolutely incredible achievement. I love Darby Allin and I think he's a great person. He's somebody who loves AEW, the fans love Darby, and he's a huge part of our locker room. I hope he'll come back here and I hope he makes it down Mount Everest as safe as he made it up. I look forward to seeing him back here. Whenever Darby can make it back, we're excited to have him back. He's one our top stars and I look forward to seeing Darby again."
It is unknown when Darby will make his return to AEW TV.
Elsewhere during the media call, Tony commented on the possibility of AEW Women's Tag Team Titles. You can find his comments here.
