Wrestler returns from injury during ROH television tapings
Nick Wayne is back.
The ROH Television Champion made his return during Saturday’s Ring of Honor tapings, defeating Lucas Riley in a Proving Ground match. He was accompanied by Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian and had been out of action since July recovering from a broken foot.
Despite being gone for so long, Tony Khan chose not to create an interim Television Champion during Wayne’s injury. He did note in December that if he had known how long Wayne was going to be out, he might have chosen the interim title route, similar to when ROH Women’s Television Champion Red Velvet was out of action.
