Former WWE Stars Spotted Backstage At ROH TV Tapings

ByAndrew RavensProfessional Wrestling Journalist

At least two names connected to WWE in recent years were backstage at this week’s Ring of Honor tapings in Florida, according to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp.

Carlito was reportedly visiting because his cousins, Epico and Primo, were competing during the tapings. Despite a lengthy wrestling career spanning multiple promotions,

Carlito has never wrestled for AEW or Ring of Honor. He had been part of WWE programming before quietly disappearing from television.

Bobby Steveson was also backstage, though Fightful noted he did not compete at the tapings and was working at the show in some capacity. Steveson previously wrestled in WWE NXT under the Damon Kemp name before his departure from the company, and has only wrestled sporadically in the two years since.

No indication exists that either Carlito or Steveson is signing with AEW or ROH.
