Mike Tyson made his return to professional wrestling on Wednesday, appearing as a special enforcer for the Chris Jericho-versus-Dax Harwood match on AEW Dynamite. In true Iron Mike fashion, the Baddest Man on the Planet took no nonsense from everyone and even made his presence felt with a signature right hook.
Fed up with Cash Wheeler's antics, the 54-year-old legendary boxer put him in his place by knocking him out cold with a vicious right hand.
Here's the moment Wheeler went night-night courtesy of Iron Mike.

With the help of Mike Tyson, Chris Jericho defeated Dax Hardwood via pinfall after performing his signature back body drop, Judas effect. There were even more surprises in store after the match, as Tyson was revealed to be the newest member of Jericho's group The Inner Circle, alongside Sammy Guevara, Jake Hagar, Santana, and Ortiz.
Mike Tyson, meanwhile, has ventured outside of boxing several times already and even appeared in the WWF (now WWE) back in the day. The heavyweight boxing legend is also a staunch supporter of mixed martial arts and has been seen promoting UFC events.
It remains to be seen if Tyson will stick around AEW for the long run. However, it's probably just a detour since he's reportedly eyeing another high-profile boxing bout following his successful in-ring return against Roy Jones Jr. last November.
