  On May 24, 2023, Sabu made his debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on Dynamite, where he was revealed to be the special guest enforcer for the unsanctioned match between Adam Cole and Chris Jericho at Double or Nothing.
  
  On April 18, 2025, Sabu wrestled his retirement match at Game Changer Wrestling 's (GCW) Joey Janela's Spring Break 9, defeating Joey Janela, three weeks before his death. The match and GCW would later come under scrutiny after an interview with Janela was published in which he intimated that Sabu was unfit to wrestle the match until he was provided a dose of the opiate substitute kratom in response to pain to ensure his attendance, and that he still appeared intoxicated backstage when he arrived at the show.
