The Dragon has found a couple of partners.
As Sports Illustrated reported, Ricky Steamboat will return to the ring for Big Time Wrestling on November 27 at Raleigh, North Carolina’s Dorton Arena.
Steamboat hasn't wrestled since 2010 when he teamed with his son, Richie Steamboat against The Dudebustera, Caylen Croft, and Trent Barreta. He also had a 2009 rivalry with Chris Jericho, which culminated in a match at Backlash. His last singles match took place at a house show against Drew McIntyre over a decade ago.
Now, Big Time Wrestling has revealed that Steamboat will be teaming with FTR's Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood against Arn Anderson's team of Black Machismo (Jay Lethal), Brock Anderson, and a mystery partner.
It's the "Return of the Dragon" on Sunday, November 27 at the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, NC!
