A WWE Hall of Famer has just made a surprise debut tonight at a major wrestling event, much to the surprise of the many fans in attendance for the show. This would be Jeff Jarrett, who appeared at ROH Final Battle.

The Last Outlaw has had a career spanning three and a half decades now. He has appeared in several major promotions, including AEW, WWE, WCW, NWA, TNA, and now ROH.

Tonight, the Tony Khan-led promotion was holding its Final Battle pay-per-view at the legendary Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. One of the matches featured Jay Lethal taking on QT Marshall. Lethal even came out reprising his iconic 'Black Machismo' gimmick, which was a tribute to WWE icon Randy 'Macho Man' Savage.

On Lethal's corner at ringside was Sonjay Dutt and Karen Jarrett, while Marshall had his wife and Aaron Solo. At a point in the match, Solo walked up to Karen Jarrett and seemed to be threatening her. This prompted Jeff Jarrett to come to his wife's aid, as he struck Aaron with a guitar to the head, taking him out of the equation for the match.

This allowed Jay Lethal to operate without any interference. He was then finally able to hit the Lethal Injection for a win over QT.

He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
