Remember Him? Former WWE And AEW Star Announces Return To The Ring Following Hiatus

He’s back? There are all kinds of wrestlers in the industry and several of them compete around the world outside of the major promotions. Occasionally you will see those wrestlers pops up in a top company and have a nice run there. That was the case with an independent star who made their way to WWE and then AEW before taking a hiatus from wrestling. That hiatus is now ending.

He has had quite the run. Check out his time in AEW and WWE:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that can make for some interesting moments, as Ruffin certainly had a run in NXT and saw some time in AEW. It could make for a nice deal if he is able to return to the ring as he could be valuable to a lot of different promotions. You do not get to see something like that very often and it would be nice to see him in the ring again sooner than later.
