Austin Aries recently made his return to IMPACT Wrestling, the ‘Greatest Man That Ever Lived’ defeated then IMPACT World Champion Eli Drake in shocking fashion to once again sit atop the mountain for the company that previously saw him reign as X Division and TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
Since his departure from WWE and the Cruiserweight scene Aries has been branching out into more territories across the globe, most notably in the United Kingdom where he currently holds the IPW:UK and DEFIANT Wrestling World Championships.
Intriguingly Aries made his entrance on this week’s episode of IMPACT with both of these prestigious UK Championships and IMPACT appears to be touting the fact that Aries is a Champion around the world…will this mean co-promotion going forward? It will be interesting to see how this story develops, especially as IMPACT look to re-establish themselves on the pro wrestling scene and attempt to break back into markets such as the UK, possibly by running co-branded events alongside IPW:UK and DEFIANT.
