Doug Williams has announced on his social media that he is coming out of retirement and is taking bookings again. He retired in 2018 after a run on the independent scene. He was set to return last year for the ROH Pure tournament and the Past vs. Present event, but the COVID-19 pandemic stopped it from happening.
Doug Williams is known for his work in the UK wrestling scene & Ring of Honor. He is perhaps most known for his time in TNA Wrestling as one-half of the British Invasion tag team with Brutus Magnus (now known as the NWA World Champion Nick Aldis). As a team, they won the TNA and IWGP Tag Team Championships.
As a singles competitor, his biggest achievements include being the second ever ROH Pure Champion, one time TNA Television Champion, and a two time TNA X-Division Champion. He has won many other titles around the world. Before wrestling, he was the 1992 British Judo Champion. Williams first big match was in the FWA against a recovering Eddie Guerrero; following his release from WWE in 2001 after being arrested for DUI.
