According to Fightful Select, at least two former WWE talents were backstage at this week’s Ring of Honor tapings in Florida. Carlito was apparently present purely as a visitor to support his brothers, Epico and Primo, who competed on the show. However, Bobby Steveson, best known as Damon Kemp in NXT, was also there in a working capacity, although he did not wrestle.
“Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed that at least two WWE names were at this week’s Ring of Honor tapings in Florida. Among them were Carlito and Bobby Steveson, both who were with WWE in recent years. Carlito was there visiting, as Epico and Primo were wrestling on the tapings. Carlito has never worked AEW or ROH. Bobby Steveson was backstage, and it was claimed to us that he was working at the show, though he didn’t wrestle. Steveson wrestled as Damon Kemp in NXT, but hasn’t wrestled much in his two years outside of the company.” – Fightful Select
27-year-old Steveson enjoyed a solid yet relatively brief NXT tenure as Damon Kemp from late 2021 to mid-2024. The older brother of Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson, signed with WWE in August 2021 and, after debuting on 205 Live, joined the Diamond Mine stable, before turning heel by betraying The Creed Brothers, and later aligning with the No Quarter Catch Crew. Still, despite strong in-ring work, he never fully connected with fans, and some suspected his future might lie outside the professional wrestling business.
