Add as a preferred source on Google Carlito and Bobby Steveson, better known to WWE fans as Damon Kemp, were backstage at the recent ROH tapings.
According to Fightful Select, the two former WWE names were seen at the tapings, though there is no confirmation yet of a debut, a contract signing, or an on-camera appearance.
Carlito’s situation stands out, as he left WWE in 2025 after the company opted not to renew his contract. Shortly before his exit, he had been part of The Judgment Day and was being used sparingly on television.

Steveson, meanwhile, left WWE in July 2024. At the time, it was reported that his departure was not part of a broader round of releases, but rather WWE’s decision not to renew his NXT contract.
During his run with the developmental brand, Kemp was part of the No Quarter Catch Crew alongside Charlie Dempsey and Myles Borne, and worked several notable matches tied to the Heritage Cup.
It remains to be seen whether Carlito and Steveson were simply visiting backstage or if AEW/ROH has interest in using them down the line.
