What's Next For Austin Aries - 5 Possible Directions
4. Return To ROH
Ring of Honor made its name giving opportunities to hungry young performers taking their first steps in professional wrestling, but its recent past has shown that veterans still have an equally important role to play. The company hasn't been shy about shining the spotlight on the likes of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, and Aries - should he sign up - would be in a similar boat.
The 39-year-old would also be walking into familiar territory, having been a regular performer with ROH during its formative years in the early 2000s. In the age of the internet, the best wrestlers can generally find their audience wherever they go, but the intimate Ring of Honor atmosphere would ensure Aries receives a hero's welcome were he to come back.
