Former WWE Star Oro Mensah Debuts At AEW ROH Chicago Tapings

Oro Mensah, a former WWE NXT and NXT UK talent known for being part of the Meta-Four faction and an NXT UK Tag Team Champion, made his debut in Ring of Honor (ROH) during tapings before AEW Dynamite. Now wrestling under the name 'Oro,' he faced NJPW star Tomohiro Ishii in a hard-hitting match but was defeated. His appearance marks his first match since his WWE release in May 2025, and it remains unclear whether he has signed a contract with ROH or AEW or if this was a one-time appearance. Mensah's debut came as a surprise to many, as there were no prior rumors of him joining Tony Khan's promotion. This follows a trend of recently released WWE talent quickly finding new opportunities, with Oro's future in AEW or ROH still to be determined. His return to a major wrestling promotion highlights his continued relevance and potential new chapter in his career.
