La Faccion Ingobernable’s Dralistico is reportedly nearing a return to action forAEW. The luchador has been absent from television since the November 1, 2025, episode of Collision, where he teamed with stablemates The Beast Mortos and Sammy Guevara in a trios loss. Following that appearance, Dralistico announced in December that he was undergoing surgery to address ongoing issues with his ears.
According to a report from Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, Dralistico has been officially cleared by his doctors in Mexico to return to the ring. While he is still awaiting final medical clearance from AEW’s own doctors, he is expected to be back on programming in the near future. Dralistico has been a fixture of the AEW and Ring of Honor rosters since 2023, competing in 22 matches during 2025, primarily as a member of the LFI faction.
His stablemates in La Faccion Ingobernable have remained active during his absence. Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos are currently the reigning ROH World Tag Team Champions, having successfully defended the titles against Top Flight on February 12, 2026. Meanwhile, the group’s leader, RUSH, has expressed his intent to expand the faction’s influence even further as they move into the 2026 season.
In addition to Dralistico’s looming return, ROH World Television Champion Nick Wayne has officially returned to the ring. The 20-year-old standout had been sidelined since August 2025 due to a broken foot that forced him out of several high-profile matches, including last year’s Forbidden Door in London.
Wayne made his surprise return during the Ring of Honor TV tapings on February 21, 2026, at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. This marks his first competitive match in over six months.
