After signing with WWE in late 2022 and then departing the company in early 2023 after not being used, Eric Young made his return to Impact Wrestling at the Slammiversary pay-per-view event. As of this writing, his return to the company has not been explained.
Some of you may recall that when “EY” departed Impact Wrestling, he was “murdered” by Deaner as a way to write him off television.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Under the Ring” podcast, Young revealed that there are some “cool ideas” being discussed to explain his return. He said,
“We’re definitely going to address how I left IMPACT a couple of months ago, for sure, that will be definitely addressed. Some really cool ideas and some really cool stuff floating around. Obviously, to put a button on that story and move on to whatever’s next is exciting. I love how we did it, and IMPACT gives you that ability to tell a different kind of story. Those jailhouse/interrogation room vignettes that Eric Tompkins and the production crew at IMPACT Wrestling, David Sahadi, it’s an army of people behind the scenes. Obviously, I’m a huge part of it, too. I think that those are some of my favorite things I’ve ever done in my wrestling career. Very cinematic and very well shot, and very well put together. The story itself was top-of-the-line.“
