For the first time in nearly 10 months, Madison Rayne will appear for in-ring action soon.

The five-time TNA Knockouts Champion has been promoted to be in action on Thursday’s episode of Ring of Honor TV. Her match, which was taped last weekend in Columbus, Ohio, sees her take on Allysin Kay in a singles bout.

Rayne spent nearly all of 2024 out of the ring, with her previous match dating back to a February bout against Deonna Purrazzo on AEW Dynamite.

The match with Purrazzo notably caused an injury scare for some, as Rayne took an awkward bump on her head shortly before the finish. However, shortly after the match, Rayne said she was fine: “I’m okay! Thanks so much to everyone who celebrated my Dynamite return & those who checked in on me afterwards.”

Rayne has been on the AEW/ROH roster since 2022, earning her title shots against Jade Cargill and Athena along the way.

She has been utilized on ROH programming since the promotion started up weekly television again in 2023, with Rayne appearing on the show’s first episode since undergoing a re-boot.

Thursday’s episode of ROH – the second-last event before Final Battle on December 20 – also includes matches featuring ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty and NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions, the Grizzled Young Vets.
