All Elite Wrestling (AEW) held a series of tribute shows for the late wrestler PAC, which featured several high-profile surprise appearances. 

During the initial tribute event, Kenny Omega made an unplanned appearance, traveling from Japan to the United States to compete in a match with Hangman Adam Page and The Young Bucks. This event also saw roster changes, with Max Caster and Anthony Bowens becoming free agents following contract expirations.

In a subsequent Dynamite episode dedicated to PAC, Bryan Danielson made a surprise return to television. After appearing with Jon Moxley, Danielson joined the Death Riders in a ten-man tag team match to defeat the Don Callis Family. Despite this appearance, reports suggest Danielson is not currently part of AEW’s immediate on-screen plans, as his return appears to be a specific moment rather than a return to a regular competition schedule.
