If you haven’t read a report from last night’s Ring of Honor PPV Taping in Chicago Ridge, IL, Austin Aries (Austin Starr in TNA) appeared after the first match and announced that he was returning to ROH full-time. Aries presented a paper to the crowd that he said would make him “free” from his current deal with TNA Wrestling.
For those who remember, Aries was suspended by TNA shortly after the company’s Lockdown PPV this past April in St. Louis, MI. There had been numerous reports stating that he was trying to get out his TNA deal after the suspension, which was right around the time Ring of Honor announced plans to debut on Pay Per View. As a result, TNA pulled all contracted talent from ROH with Aries and Homicide being the only two remaining.
Starr/Aries was granted his TNA release last week.
