Wrestling legend and Hall of Famer, Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat will be making his in-ring return as part of Big Time Wrestling on the 27th of November. Alongside the former mid-card sensation will be some of AEW’s most old-school wrestlers including: FTR, Jay Lethal and Brock Anderson.

The team of Steamboat and FTR are set to face both Lethal and Anderson in a six-man contest, with the third member of the opposing team yet to be confirmed. It’s a shame that we won’t get to see this huge moment on AEW television, but it’s a great showcase of some of the top up-and-coming stars nonetheless. Also present for this match will be Brock’s Dad, Arn Anderson, who will be managing the heel team.

Ricky Steamboat recently appeared for AEW as part of their House of the Dragon special, suggesting that he has a pretty good relationship with the AEW locker room for him to personally invite these wrestlers to take part in his comeback performance. This is the first time that the 69-year-old legend will compete in the squared circle since 2010.

It comes as a bit of a shock that Ricky Steamboat is choosing to stage a comeback now, only a couple of short months removed from Ric Flair’s finale, a match which Steamboat declined to be involved with. Here’s hoping this match will be a little more exciting than the aforementioned ‘Nature Boys’.
