Erick Stevens Announces He’s Returning To Pro Wrestling
Erick Stevens is back.
After multiple promotions announced that Stevens would be returning to the ring, Stevens took to social media to confirm that he will be returning to wrestling while reflecting on his time away.
Stevens retired in October 2020. He suffered a torn MCL before announcing his retirement at the time.
I’m back.

I had a long, multi-tweet thread written out, but I scrapped it. The Cliff Notes: Even though my life has not been all sunshine and rainbows as of late, I’m very excited to sleep on airport floors, sit in cramped backseats, and eat beef jerky for dinner.

I’ve had a lot of time to sit back and watch a lot of footage from the past and the present. I’ve also had time to think about the kind of wrestler and more importantly, the kind of professional I want to be. I love pro wrestling and I can’t wait to get in the ring again.

I talked a lot of shit about @RichardsWesley based on my experiences from back in the day, but all jokes aside – I’ve been really impressed by the things he’s been doing with Team Ambition.

The only thing we as humans can do is to admit our flaws and do our best to improve them. My approach to this run is completely different. As an over the hill never was, I want to help the next generation(s) become the best professional wrestlers they can be.

Stevens is set to compete at Black Label Pro Total Eclipse of the Hart on August 27.
He’s also been announced for West Coast Pro in October.
