According to Fightful Select, former ROH World Tag Team Champion Chris Hero is going to be backstage at the United Center in Chicago for tonight’s AEW Collision debut episode.
It was also said that Hero is having a trial run by AEW for a permanent backstage role with the company. The decision on whether he lands a full-time role is apparently going to come at a future date.
The 43-year Hero is also formerly known as Kassius Ohno in NXT. He has not competed inside the ring since his second departure from WWE in April 2020. Hero is best known as the tag team partner for ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli. Together in ROH they were known as the Kings of Wrestling and are two-time ROH World Tag Team Champions.
Back in March, West Coast Pro Wrestling, in a storyline role named him as matchmaker for the independent promotion.
