Could we see Matt Taven back in ROH?
Matt Taven made his ROH debut in 2009 before becoming one of the promotion’s top stars for the next 12 years. He won the ROH World Championship at the G1 Supercard event in 2019. At ROH’s last event before the promotion went on hiatus, Taven and Mike Bennett lost the tag titles to The Briscoes at ROH Final Battle 2021. The former leader of The Kingdom didn’t compete at Supercard of Honor or Death Before Dishonor, the first two events of Tony Khan’s ROH. Taven sat down with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston, he was asked whether he could return to ROH at some point, which he responded by emphasizing that he has no idea because you never know what’s going to happen in the wrestling world.
I mean if you were to ask me a couple of months ago if I would be in an IMPACT ring, I would think, ‘What are you talking about?’ So wrestling is one of those things where I have, yes, no, I have no idea. Currently, I’m with IMPACT Wrestling. I’ve been there for six months, I know I’ll be there for a little bit longer. Who knows what happens after that? Who knows what could happen tomorrow? Really, in wrestling, it’s one of those crazy businesses where like honestly, if it was a year ago and I said to myself, ‘The whole company’s gonna go under, you’re gonna be fired, you’re gonna end up at IMPACT Wrestling before your contract even expires, and now you’re gonna find yourself in a situation where everything’s up in the air, It’s like no, that’s not gonna happen. I’m under contract for another two-and-a-half years.’ So it’s crazy. Again it’s one of those things where if you told me last year that, ‘Hey, you know, the first sixth months of [2022], you’re gonna be all over IMPACT,’ I’d be like, ‘What are you talking about?’ But at the same time, it’s part of this crazy adventure called wrestling that, for the last 14-plus years, I’ve been living by the seat of my pants, and there’s ebbs and flows to everything, and luckily there’s been more highs than lows. So it’s very cool to kind of land on my feet at IMPACT Wrestling and see what the future holds for me there.
