After nearly a year away from in-ring competition, former ROH World Champion Dalton Castle appears poised for a comeback.

A new vignette aired during the June 5, 2025, edition of Ring of Honor TV on Honor Club, featuring Castle and his signature entourage, The Boys. The cinematic segment marked Castleโ€™s first on-screen appearance since his injury in mid-2024.

The vignette โ€” true to Castleโ€™s eccentric and theatrical style โ€” showed The Boys discovering a mysterious spaceship in the desert. As they approached the vessel, Castle emerged dramatically and declared, โ€œItโ€™s time to make some noise!โ€ While no official match or return date was announced, the segment strongly hinted that Castleโ€™s return to action is imminent.

Castle has been out of action since July 2024, when he was injured during a match against Roderick Strong on an episode of AEW Collision. Initial speculation pointed to a concussion, but later reports confirmed that Castle had suffered a torn biceps, which required surgery and a lengthy rehab process.

A staple of ROH, Dalton Castle boasts an impressive rรฉsumรฉ, having held the ROH World Championship, the ROH World Television Championship, and the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships (twice) alongside The Boys.

Castleโ€™s return is sure to inject star power and charisma into the ROH landscape as the brand continues to build momentum under the AEW/ROH umbrella.
