The WWE Hall of Famer made appearances for both All Elite Wrestling and NWA over the last month. Steamboat got physical on AEW Dynamite with ‘Cool Hand’ Angelo Parker.
He appeared on NWA Powerrr to announce that he’ll be assisting with the National Heavyweight Title #1 contender tournament. The winner of that will be challenging for the belt at Hard Times 3 on November 12th.
There is no word on who the 69-year-old Steamboat is going to be wrestling with/against in his return match.
