Injured AEW wrestler returns at ROH taping (SPOILERS)

Leyla Hirsch had just recently turned heel and was getting a bit of a push in AEW last spring when injury struck. A torn ACL put the pint-sized powerhouse on the shelf for more than a year, but at the ROH on Honor Club taping last night (June 29) in Hamilton, Ontario she finally returned.

We should get more backstory when these matches are packaged for Ring of Honor’s streaming service, but as of now, we know Maria Kanellis claimed she wasn’t cleared and had recruited Hirsch to replace her in The Kingdom’s mixed trios.

In mixed trios action with Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, Hirsch picked up a win over The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean) & Trish Adora
