AEW's Dralistico Cleared for Ring Return After Surgery

All Elite Wrestling star Dralistico is on the verge of returning to the ring after undergoing surgery for persistent ear injuries that sidelined him late last year. The Mexican luchador, a key member of the La Faccion Ingobernable faction, has been cleared by his doctors in Mexico and now awaits final approval from AEW's medical team, according to a report from wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez.

Dralistico last competed on the November 1, 2024, episode of AEW Collision, taped October 29 in a six-man tag team match. There, he teamed with stablemates Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos but lost to Komander, Mark Briscoe, and Roderick Strong. Earlier that month, on October 16, he had wrestled in a similar trios bout for Mexico's Indy Wrestling promotion. He had attempted to push through the ear issues for several weeks before the pain forced him to step away. In December 2024, Dralistico announced he had undergone the procedure, sharing a message on social media thanking fans for their support and expressing gratitude to AEW President Tony Khan for his assistance during recovery.

The update from Alvarez, published in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, indicates steady progress....
