“I’m ready to explore opportunities as a free agent that haven’t been open to me before.

As soon as I heard about GFW I knew that one way or another I would play a part. I’m very excited about that.” said Aldis.

GFW Founder and CEO couldn’t not be happier that Magnus has decided to join the force. “Nick is one of the brightest stars in professional wrestling today and I could not be more excited to have front and center promoting GFW.

Jarrett is expected to be around TNA a lot more after this Sunday’s King of the Mountain Match at the Slammiversary pay-per-view. There’s a feeling within TNA that some sort of Global Force Wrestling invasion angle could be in the works, but that has not been confirmed, it’s just a feeling backstage last night.
