As previously noted, Ricky Steamboat served as guest timekeeper during the House of the Dragon edition of AEW Dynamite on August 17th 2022. During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan commented on Steamboat possibly having a match in AEW following his return to the ring over the weekend…

“It’s definitely something to keep in mind. I think it’s amazing that Ricky Steamboat got back in the ring. FTR, one of the greatest tag teams on the planet. I’m excited tonight for Dax Harwood to go one on one with Bryan Danielson, two of the best pro wrestlers in the world. It’s certainly something to think about, Ricky Steamboat’s last match, one of my personal heroes. Somebody, as a kid, one of my all-time favorites and to this day one of my all-time favorites. I do think he was a great part of AEW already when he came in as the guest timekeeper.”

“I would love to have Ricky Steamboat back in AEW any time.” (quotes courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
