Former WWE star Erick Rowan made an appearance on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite which was a tribute show for his former partner Brodie Lee.
This week’s episode of the show featured multiple tag matches involving the members of The Dark Order. One such match was MJF, Ortiz & Santana facing the team of Alex Reynolds, John Silver & Adam Page.
Towards the ending of this bout, Wardlow came out and he interrupted the match by taking out Reynolds. Erick Rowan then made his AEW debut to stop the giant.
The former WWE star who now goes by the name Erick RedBeard dropped Wardlow with a chokeslam and then ran him off to backstage.
The match ended with John Silver delivering Brodie’s discuss forearm to Ortiz and pinning the Inner Circle member to pick up the victory for his team.
Erick joined the Dark Order in the ring post-match and Silver got emotional as the former Wyatt Family member held up a sign reading “Goodbye for now my brother. See you down the road.”
There is no word yet on if this was a one-time appearance or if Erick Rowan has signed a contract with AEW. We will have to see if he makes any more appearances for the company in coming weeks.
