It’s been a while since fans have seen former WWE Superstar Alex Riley in the ring, as he wrestled his last match when he faced Sin Cara in NXT back in 2016.
However, he will be returning to the ring to compete at a Generation Championship Wrestling event in Tampa, FL during WrestleMania week, and the company posted the following announcement confirming his return:
“Kevin Riley – Steel Horse (fka Alex Riley) is coming to Generation Championship Wrestling – GCW.
The Steel Horse is no stranger to Wrestling Fans… he popped on the scene in the 2nd season of NXT (the competition) , spent time protecting half of the “It” Couple, grabbed briefcases and brass rings…. and then made Netflix & The Super popular TV Show “Glow” his …. home.
But competition always calls….
And real athletes ALWAYS answer…
Now, after much reflection … he is ready to dominate again, and make his return to Professional Wrestling.
You can see him #live during Mania Week at GCW.
