Scotty 2 Hotty says he would welcome the chance to appear on AEW television, floating the idea of a nostalgia-act role in a battle royal or as a mystery opponent. The former WWE tag team star currently works behind the scenes for AEW as a producer and coach, and he has also wrestled in dark matches for the promotion, though he has not yet appeared in a match on AEW television.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, Scotty 2 Hotty was asked directly whether he would be open to wrestling on AEW TV, according to Fightful. He indicated he could see himself fitting into the kind of spot often reserved for recognizable veteran names, such as a surprise entrant in a battle royal or a mystery opponent angle.
Scotty 2 Hotty remains active in the ring despite his backstage duties, a combination that is not uncommon in modern wrestling promotions where former performers transition into producer and coaching roles while still occasionally competing. His comments suggest he has not ruled out a return to an on-screen capacity with AEW, even if only in a nostalgia-driven context rather than a regular roster spot.
No match, date, or storyline has been confirmed for Scotty 2 Hotty on AEW programming, and his remarks reflect his own stated openness to the idea rather than any announced plan from the company.
