While he ultimately didn't appear on screen at IMPACT Wrestling's No Surrender event last night, former Ring of Honor World Champion Dalton Castle was backstage at Westwego, Louisiana's Alario Center yesterday.

Via PWInsider, Castle was at the venue early in the day, although the belief is that he left the building before No Surrender got underway. There's no word on why exactly the Party Peacock was at the Alario Center, although Castle is one of those many names who are now free agents after ROH went on hiatus at the end of 2021.

Of course, the Charismatic Milkshake could merely have been at No Surrender to visit friends.

IMPACT is currently in the midst of an invasion from the Honor No More group of former ROH talents, with No Surrender seeing Eddie Edwards turn on the Anthem promotion to side with these would-be invaders. Away from this faction, current ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham has been working dates with IMPACT, whilst Deonna Purrazzo is nowadays the ROH Women's Champion after she recently defeated Rok-C.

The point being, there is a very heavy Ring of Honor presence in IMPACT Wrestling right now, and maybe Dalton Castle is another former ROH star who'll end up in IMPACT as part of all of this.
