Mark Henry & Scorpio Sky Makes Surprise Appearance at ROH Final Battle 2023
Friday’s ROH Final Battle 2023 event also featured AEW announcer and backstage interviewer Mark Henry making a surprise appearance and Scorpio Sky making his surprise return to ROH.
During the I Quit match between Tony Nese and “All Ego” Ethan Page, Henry came out making a surprise appearance acting as the special enforcer to make sure that Nese’s manager Smart Mark Sterling remained handcuffed to the ring post as per match stipulation and did not engage in any shenanigans.

This was all for naught due to Nese eventually managed to grab the keys to handcuffs from the timekeeper and freed Sterling while Henry looked on unable to do anything. Sterling and Nese proceeded to attack Page which led to Sky’s making his surprise return and ran to the ring to save Page and fight off Sterling and Nese.
Scorpio Sky has come to even the odds!
