10 Best TNA Wrestling Returns
TNA has had some great returns over the past 20+ years
2. Eric Young - Slammiversary 2020
The first round of WWE’s pandemic-induced “budget cuts” was brutal.
Over 20 active wrestlers were let go in a world where very few wrestling companies were able to run shows. It was a totally heartless decision and drew appropriate criticism from across the wrestling world.
However, one name who managed to bounce back was former TNA World Champion Eric Young.
The ex-leader of SAnitY was one of the many people released from WWE in April 2020, but fans only needed to wait three months to see him back in a prominent position.
EY made his surprise return to the promotion at their Slammiversary 2020 event, inserting himself into the five-way for the vacant world championship. Despite not winning the match, Young had immediately re-established himself as a main event player with his new, more deranged persona. He would be the next person to hold the gold.
Young went on to play a huge part in TNA going forward with his Violent By Design stable and he remains a part of the promotion to this day following another brief run with WWE.
