On AEW Collision this past Saturday in Ontario, California, Scorpio Sky made a dramatic return to the promotion by answering an open challenge from ‘Platinum’ Max Caster. This marked Sky’s first appearance on AEW television in 658 days, reigniting excitement among fans eager to see the former TNT Champion back in action. The return came nearly two years after his last match on AEW TV, which took place in August 2024 before he predominantly appeared in ROH.
Formation of a New Faction Featuring Top Flight and Daniels as Manager
Alongside Scorpio Sky’s comeback was the formation of a new faction that included Top Flight members Leila Grey and Christopher Daniels, the latter serving as the group’s manager. Daniels, who retired from in-ring competition in January 2025, reconnected with Sky, adding a meaningful layer of history since both were previously part of SCU together. Their reunion not only boosts Sky’s return but also lends renewed focus to Top Flight, a tag team that had slipped into the background of AEW’s tag division.
The faction’s introduction was carefully built up on the show. After Max Caster’s lengthy promo filled with distractions, a vignette highlighting Scorpio Sky aired, followed by his entrance with the faction members he trains with. Despite Caster’s immediate attack attempt, Sky quickly subdued him in under a minute, receiving enthusiastic “Welcome Back” chants from fans in attendance.
Potential Impact and Future of Scorpio Sky’s AEW Faction
This return serves as a reintroduction of Scorpio Sky to AEW audiences and offers a platform to reestablish him at the forefront of the promotion’s storylines. With Christopher Daniels acting as a manager and the support of Top Flight, the new faction could play a significant role in revitalizing Sky’s career and elevating his allies in the tag team ranks. Observers will be watching closely to see how AEW develops this group and uses it to create fresh narratives in the competitive tag team and singles scenes.
