Isn't the only reason he stopped appearing because his day job is as a nurse and he didn't want to risk Covid?

Yeah, which makes sense. Then he started doing indies after a while.

Line-up for tonight. The Cardona / Grace in-ring dynamic has been really good - whoever came up with the DMC as a vehicle for delivering intergender bangers is a-ok with me.

I feel like Eddie's motivations aren't really some huge mystery since he used to be in ROH.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

To be honest I don't fully grasp Honor No More's "motivation." I mean they're invading heels and they were all in ROH. That's simple enough. But like they're not representing ROH. They're not trying to instill ROH values. They're just kind of around being pains in the rear end.

I'm probably just not that into them and their makeup. Like a heel stable probably doesn't need much more motivation beyond causing trouble, getting wins, and chasing titles. But it just has a weird lack of identity to me. Like how do PCO and Kenny King fit together? I dunno. Eddie doesn't really excite me either but maybe his personal motivation can give the group a little more of a mission statement?

Their show at WrestleCon has the best possible name for a one-off event in 2022, and a pretty interesting match to boot:

Michael Elgin's suing the company for "at least" $5mil

Among other things his claims include:
D'Amore told him he wasn't under investigation by them, and later reiterated that the decision to not book him anymore wasn't based on an investigation
Despite not booking him anymore he was still being paid for the rest of his deal, which just recently expired
They canceled a booking he accepted at NOAH for December 2020

They have 9 days to respond (PWInsider says they were served Feb 11 and given 30 days)

Taya won the #1 contender match at AAA Rey de Reyes, so if it's not her, expect a ROH defense.

Not only was the show great, but the way they brought Alexander back and his promo afterwards beautifully revived the angle.

As much as Jake Something is pretty good, I don’t think he’s worth re-signing. They just got Speedball, who (should he survive Minoru Suzuki) is going to be a big deal.

Fallah Bahh has left Impact Wrestling, which kind of sucks since he’s a good guy, but unsurprising since he hasn’t been used in a long time.

The Bullet Club x MCMG match and the Champ Champ triple threat should be real good; I know I glanced at the taping spoilers but I don't remember if the Alexander x Taven match ends in shenanigans or not, but I'm assuming it does.

So I guess Taya Valkyrie winning #1 contender to the Reina de Reinas is more "guaranteed title shot on the next big AAA show" rather than actual #1 contendership, or else they'd probably want to respect that in the working relationship.

I'd expect Deonna to drop the ROH title first though, unless Tony Khan's going to hire her to be in ROH.
