Details are revealed about Beth Phoenix's appearance at AEW All Out

AEW All Out 2025 kicked off in Toronto with a start full of history: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reunited to face FTR in their second televised match as a team since 2011. However, it was the surprise return of Beth Copeland that ended up stealing all the spotlight of the evening.

According to Fightful Select, the appearance of the WWE Hall of Famer was not a spontaneous decision, but a plan that had been in the works at AEW for some time: "Beth Phoenix's return is something that has been discussed and debated for quite some time."

The wrestler burst into the match to attack Stokely Hathaway, unleashing a thunderous ovation from the Canadian audience. What seemed like a brief cameo soon turned into a significant angle: after Copeland's victory with a decisive spear, FTR responded brutally by executing a combined Piledriver on Phoenix while her husband remained handcuffed to the ropes, helpless.

Beth Phoenix's return made it clear that AEW is not just looking for nostalgic moments. The company is setting up a long-term story that directly involves Copeland, Cage, FTR, and now Phoenix herself, opening a new chapter with high dramatic potential.

No further information has been revealed about Beth Copeland's return, although there is speculation that she will have a match in All Elite Wrestling, marking her debut in Tony Khan's company.
