WWF Attitude Era Veteran Scotty 2 Hotty, who works as a Producer in All Elite Wrestling, made his AEW in-ring debut in a dark match before an episode of Dynamite in December 2023.
He teamed up with AEW World Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn to defeat Jake Hager, Matt Menard & The Gunns.

During an interview on AEW Unrestricted, Scotty was asked about the possibility of wrestling again in the promotion.
He said he’d only do it if it’s for the right reason – elevate a new talent or the show in general:
“I mean you know, it was talked about right. The idea is exciting to me, I just want it to be for the right reason, I want it to be for the right thing.
I want to elevate somebody, I want to elevate the show, create a moment, I don’t want it to just be a cold match if we do it. I don’t want to just go out there and have a match. It has to be the right thing.
My first job here is to be a coach and producer, I don’t want to split my time doing both, I feel like it hurts my job as a producer. If there is the right thing, and it can make the show better or if I can help bring somebody up, I think that’s the way to use it and the way to do it.
I don’t want to be going out there every week and be thinking about the match I’m going to have while producing a live segment on Dynamite. I feel like that would hurt my job as a producer.”
