Earlier Sunday evening, Ring of Honor Wrestling announced the following:
“Earlier this evening, with heavy hearts, Ring of Honor officials accepted the resignation of ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness.
Speculation surrounding McGuinness’ sudden resignation has begun to boil among ROH officials.While some chastised his leniency toward Bullet Club’s behavior in the summer, others believe that now McGuinness may be under extreme duress from Bullet Club’s Adam Cole for changing the stipulations of the Final Battle main event just days in advance.
One of ROH’s all-time greats, the former ROH World Champion has resigned. ROH management has announced it is forming an executive committee to oversee matchmaking in ROH. We wish Nigel McGuinness the best of luck in his future.”
McGuinness returned to ROH in 2011, after a run in TNA & a retirement tour. The “resignation” appears to be the storyline explanation for McGuinness leaving the company.
No word yet on what the future holds for the former ROH champion.
