QT Marshall is excited about returning to ROH.
QT Marshall had two stints earlier in his career, and his second run ended in 2018. He then joined AEW in 2019, and aside from his brief departure at the end of 2023, he has been with the company ever since. Marshall will return to the ROH ring at ROH Final Battle, where he will face Jay Lethal.
Speaking with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, QT Marshall discussed the upcoming match.
“In March of 2012, I was told in the Hammerstein Ballroom that I would have my first Ring of Honor match in April, in Baltimore. I was excited because I knew I would get to wrestle at Hammerstein Ballroom. If you fast-forward to Final Battle of that year, I was relegated to being a manager for RD Evans. I did wrestle before the show in a 29-second match with Grizzly Redwood. It definitely wasn’t what I perceived was going to happen, if you would have asked me in March. So by that point in Ring of Honor, I had already kind of disliked everything about the company. My first run in Ring of Honor was not great, and it wasn’t great for me because some of the things on my end, but also some of the things that I perceived on their end. So now, getting to come back and with the Ring of Honor leadership being under Tony Khan and the way people are treated now, it is full circle. It hopefully will bring me a little bit of closure, but at the same time, I want to go out there and steal the show and have a fun time in that atmosphere and get to feel that energy again. I was there in 2013, Supercard of Honor. It was a tremendous night for Jay Briscoe, winning his first ROH World Title, and I opened that show with RD Evans in a tag match, and I got to feel a little bit of it. But again, my head was a in a different place. So now I’m a lot different, I’m a lot more mature, and again, as we grow as performers, professionally, personally as well, it’s just something that I think is really cool to be able to go back there and be in a different head space but also get to face one of the greatest, the greatest first-generation wrestlers in Ring of Honor history, Jay Lethal," Marshall said.
