10 Best TNA Wrestling Returns

TNA has had some great returns over the past 20+ years

4. Christian Cage - Slammiversary 2012

In 2012, TNA celebrated its tenth birthday with a special edition of their Slammiversary pay-per-view.

The show was stacked with top-tier matches including AJ Styles and Kurt Angle teaming up against Bad Influence and Bobby Roode vs Sting for the world title.

Perhaps the most notable appearance on the night came from a man not even signed with TNA at the time. 

Former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Christian Cage made his first appearance in TNA for three-and-a-half years. He was there to announce the number one moment in TNA history, but history was actually being made then and there as Christian was the WWE Intercontinental Champion at the time.

Cage had been allowed to appear for TNA on the condition that WWE could have Ric Flair (who was signed to TNA at the time) so that the Nature Boy could get inducted into the Hall of Fame that year. 

Considering that WWE had never acknowledged the existence of the rival company on its programming, the fact that one of their wrestlers, their champions, was on a TNA pay-per-view was big news. 

Another classic moment from the Instant Classic.
