The wrestling world was abuzz this week as veteran wrestler Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat made a surprise appearance at an All Elite Wrestling (AEW) event. Known for his technical prowess and legendary matches, Steamboat's presence added a nostalgic touch to the show. Fans were thrilled to see him back in the spotlight after years of retirement.
Ricky Steamboat, who was recently announced as a special guest at AEW events, made his appearance during Friday’s Rampage episode. His last public wrestling engagement for AEW was at Revolution on March 3, where he served as the guest timekeeper for Sting's retirement match in Greensboro.
Steamboat's career spans over four decades and includes multiple championships across various promotions like NWA, WWF (now WWE), WCW, and more. He is a three-time Hall of Famer, having been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009, the NWA Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2002.
His rivalry with Ric Flair remains one of wrestling's most celebrated feuds. The two exchanged legendary matches that defined an era of professional wrestling. Despite his retirement, Steamboat continues to be a revered figure within the industry, inspiring current and future generations of wrestlers.
This recent appearance at AEW has fans eagerly anticipating what Steamboat's next move might be in the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling.
