Tony Khan says he would love to have Ricky Steamboat back in AEW.
Steamboat was a guest timekeeper on AEW's House of the Dragon-themed episode back in August. Tony Khan appeared on Busted Open Radio on Wednesday and said that the door is open for Steamboat to return to the promotion.
"It's definitely something to keep in mind," Khan said after being asked about Steamboat having a match in AEW. "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 anytime," he continued.
Steamboat returned to the ring for the first time in 12 years over the weekend. He teamed with FTR and defeated Nick Aldis, Jay Lethal, and Brock Anderson for BPW Return of the Dragon on Sunday.
