At Ring of Honor’s Best In The World pay-per-view event on Friday night, Eli Drake made an appearance as the surprise partner of NWA World Champion Nick Aldis.
Aldis was originally supposed to team with Colt Cabana to take on The Briscoes, but Cabana was forced to miss the show after suffering a hematoma on his quadriceps.

It was even reported that WWE was in interesting in bringing Eli Drake back to the company after a run in NXT five years ago.
It is not known whether Drake was approached by WWE but he turned them down, or whether an offer from Vince McMahon’s company never materialised.
