Professional wrestler Kidd Bandit, who retired in April 2026, will return for a single match against former AEW champion Nyla Rose. The bout serves as the main event for the upcoming T4T Wrestling Wild Card fundraiser in Las Vegas.

Why it matters

The match serves as a fundraiser to support the recovery of Funny Bone, a fellow performer who sustained a shoulder injury at the promotion's debut event in July. Kidd Bandit is returning to the ring specifically to aid this cause and face the championship-caliber Rose.

Kidd Bandit will make 1 return appearance in the ring to face Nyla Rose on December 5, 2026. This ends a retirement period that began in April 2026, though specific financial targets for the Funny Bone recovery fund remain undisclosed.
