Rush & Dralistico Return to AEW After Injury Recovery | AEW Collision Updates (March 2026)
La Faccion Ingobernable Returns to AEW After Injury Recoveries
Members of La Faccion Ingobernable, Rush and Dralistico, made their return to All Elite Wrestling television on the episode of AEW Collision. Their appearance marked their first in AEW for 2026, following extended absences due to injury.
Both wrestlers had been sidelined since the fall of 2025, requiring significant rehabilitation before being cleared to compete again, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The return of the duo signals a potential resurgence for the faction within AEW.
Dralistico’s Ear Injury Required Surgery
Dralistico’s absence stemmed from a prolonged ear injury that ultimately necessitated surgery in . The luchador publicly acknowledged the procedure, sharing a photo from a hospital bed and expressing gratitude to AEW President Tony Khan for his support throughout the recovery process. He recently received medical clearance from AEW doctors and has begun appearing in weekend matches to regain his competitive edge.
The ear injury had reportedly been plaguing Dralistico for over a year prior to the surgery, making his return to full health a significant milestone. His ability to remain healthy will be crucial as he looks to build momentum within the AEW roster.
Rush Rehabbed Knee Injury, Avoided Surgery
Rush’s injury occurred shortly before the ROH Final Battle event in , forcing him to postpone a scheduled match against Bandido for the ROH World Championship. Unlike Dralistico, Rush opted against surgery, choosing instead to focus on a comprehensive rehabilitation program to strengthen his knee.
This decision allowed Rush to expedite his return to the ring, as surgery would have kept him out of action for a considerably longer period. He participated in a dark match before the episode of AEW Dynamite as a final test before his official return on Collision.
Looking Ahead for La Faccion Ingobernable
The simultaneous return of Rush and Dralistico provides a boost to La Faccion Ingobernable, a stable known for its aggressive and unpredictable style. Their reappearance on Collision, where they were featured promoting a potential opportunity for $200,000, suggests AEW has plans for the faction in the coming weeks.
The postponement of Rush’s ROH World Championship match against Bandido remains a point of interest. While no date has been set for a rematch, the possibility looms, potentially setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter between the two wrestlers. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that a future ROH event could be the venue for this rescheduled championship bout.
Dralistico’s return also presents opportunities for new rivalries and storylines within AEW. His in-ring skills and masked persona have made him a popular figure with fans, and his presence adds another dynamic to the AEW roster.
Both Rush and Dralistico’s recoveries highlight the importance of AEW’s medical team and the wrestlers’ dedication to rehabilitation. Their return to action demonstrates a commitment to their craft and a desire to continue competing at the highest level.
The return of La Faccion Ingobernable adds another layer of intrigue to the already competitive landscape of AEW and ROH. Fans will be watching closely to see how the faction impacts the promotion’s storylines and championship pursuits in the weeks and months ahead.
