The May 27 episode of “AEW Dynamite” not only acted because the fallout show from AEW Double or Nothing 2026, however it was also the show where Jake Doyle of The Don Callis Family made his long awaited return to the corporate from injury.
Through the “Superstation Showcase” four-way that pitted Orange Cassidy, Lio Rush, Brian Cage, and Rush against one another, Cassidy and Cage ended up on the surface where Cage was flanked his Don Callis Relations Rocky Romero and Lance Archer. Just as Cassidy looked to attack Archer, Doyle ran out for a surprise attack from behind, which led to Cassidy being carried to the back by the family.
Doyle’s attack marks the primary time he has appeared on AEW television because the January 28 episode of “Dynamite,” where he and Mark Davis unsuccessfully challenged FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. It was during that match where Doyle suffered a torn biceps, an injury that might have resulted in the previous TNA star missing seven to eight months of motion had he undergone surgery. Nonetheless, it was reported that he would only miss 4 months of motion if he opted against surgery, and on condition that it has been 4 months since he suffered the injury, it’s clear that Doyle didn’t opt to have surgery.
Before his injury, Doyle had formed a tag team with the aforementioned Mark Davis. Since Doyle has been gone, Davis has gone on to realize some singles success of his own, currently reigning because the AEW National Champion after defeating “Jungle” Jack Perry on the Fairway To Hell edition of “AEW Collision” at first of May, in addition to being entered within the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
