British wrestling great Nigel McGuinness is refusing to rule out returning to the ring for another match at AEW's upcoming Wembley Stadium show.

McGuinness teased fans by telling Digital Spy he might have to "go dust the boots off" and toss his name into the hat for spot on the card. Then, Nigel added that he'd be mindful of stealing a spot from hardworking full-timers who wrestle all year round for the chance to appear on events this big.

The ex-ROH, TNA and WWE favourite is toying with the idea though, because he reckons wrestling in Wembley could be a fitting send-off for his in-ring career; McGuinness was forced to retire in 2011, so it'd be lovely to see him go out on his own terms.

Over to you, Tony Khan.

Workers putting themselves forward for places on the historic card is nothing new. Several UK favourites, including Will Ospreay, have expressed interest in wrestling at All In: London. However, AEW boss TK must find some balance between springing neat surprises and rewarding his own full-time locker room for all their hard graft.

Nigel McGuinness fancies it, but he's realistic about his chances.
