As previously reported, The Rock N’ Roll Express, Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton, are set to make their AEW returns this Saturday. In an interview with WrestleZone (via Fightful), Dax Harwood revealed that the team coming back to AEW was his idea, which he pitched to Tony Khan.
He said: “I pitched to Tony [Khan] to bring Rock ‘n’ Roll, I wanted to bring them to Asheville and Charlotte, but we could only get them for Charlotte, which is great. Having Ricky and Robert there, they could be so easily forgotten about because WWE, they haven’t, I don’t want to say doesn’t because I don’t know the current regime, but they haven’t liked to promote and show what wasn’t a WWE product. Ricky and Robert never were, aside from a few months in ‘92 and again in ‘98, aside from a couple of months, they weren’t part of the WWE, so it’s easy to forget how great they were. But they were, in my opinion, they were the greatest babyface tag team of all time, I would put them one and two with greatest tag team of all time, in my opinion, Midnight Express are the greatest tag team of all time. But Ricky Morton, the greatest babyface, if you watch him, he is the greatest babyface.“
