Ace Steel Returns To The TNA Ring After A 20-Year Absence
It's been 20 years since Ace Steel wrestled in TNA and that all changed this weekend.
TNA had a jam-packed wrestling weekend with Against All Odds taking place which showcased the return of Jeff Hardy after leaving AEW. However, another former AEW talent made a memorable return in Ace Steel.
Just this past week on the go-home episode of TNA Impact Joe Hendry happened to introduce Steel as his new manager, promising to take the British pop star sensation to the next level in the wrestling ring.
Steel apparently did that physically as during the latest set of tapings after Against All Odds, Steel stepped foot in the ring against Frankie Kazarian and wrestled in boots, jeans and a Harley Race tee shirt.
Hendry first had his chance at Kazarian at Against All Odds, but Frankie ultimately got the victory, defeating Hendry in just over seven minutes.
Steel's last match match in TNA took place all the way back on January 1, 2023 as he teamed with David Young to defeat Chris Vaughn & Johnny Slaughter.
The in-ring return of Steel during the TNA tapings had to feel like a big moment for the pro wrestling veteran as it all went down in the Windy City of Chicago, Steel's hometown.
TNA has been riding a critical high since considering their recent relationship with WWE and they rode that momentum at the PPV. Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace successfully defended her title against Tatum Paxley in just over 11 minutes.
There will likely be more crossover as soon as this Tuesday on NXT because a 25-man battle royal is advertised for the show with the teaser that more than one locker room will be featured.
