Zach Gowen has made history again.
Gowen is now, officially, the only one-legged professional wrestler to compete in TNA, WWE, and AEW.
Gowen wrestled Ricochet on Wednesday's edition of AEW Dynamite and, though he lost the match, he won the respect, once again, of fans watching at home.
The match came about because on the previous week's episode of AEW Collision, Ricochet attacked Gowen and actually stole his prosthetic leg.

Following the match, Gowen took to Twitter/X to express his gratitude to Tony Khan and AEW.
Thank you @AEW for welcoming me into your locker room and being so kind. Thank you @TonyKhan for giving me a chance to live out my dream one more time --
