AEW commentator Nigel McGuinness made a surprise in-ring
return last night at the ROH Final Battle event in New York,
coming out to answer the open challenge for the ROH Pure
title.

McGuinness is a former ROH Pure champion himself, having held
the title for a whopping 350 days between 2004 and 2005. The
British star wanted the match to be contested under the old
ROH Pure rules, which means no judges. Unfortunately for him,
Moriarty came out on top and retained the title.

This was his third match of 2024 after coming out from
retirement at All In in August where he participated in the
Casino Gauntlet match as a surprise entrant and then wrestled
Bryan Danielson in September on Dynamite.
