TNA star Austin Aries has been announced as appearing at the upcoming Tommy Dreamer-promoted “House Of Hardcore VII” event at the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 15th.

As noted earlier today, Aries may be wrapping up business with TNA, as there has been a lot of speculation going around that claims he may soon be parting ways with the promotion.

The updated talent lineup for Dreamer’s “House Of Hardcore” event in November now includes Aries, Dreamer, The Hardy Boys, The Young Bucks, The Wolves, Harry Smith and Lance Hoyt.

Aries tweeted the following about his House Of Hardcore appearance:

TNA wrestler James Storm was recently interviewed by the Dothan Eagle newspaper in Alabama about a number of subjects, including his preference in portraying a heel character over a babyface, wanting to work with Roderick Strong or The Young Bucks in TNA, and the fall of tag-team wrestling.

When the discussion of tag-teams in pro wrestling these days came up, Storm stated, “To me, there needs to be more teams, not guys just thrown together, but guys you can relate to.”

Regarding Storm’s previous tag-team with Bobby Roode, Storm noted, “Me and Bobby were thrown together, but we made it work as a tag team. It just takes time, and with the new format of professional wrestling, it’s kind of hard to give that much time to a specific area.”
