Eric Young Reportedly Set To Make Return To WWE

Former Impact Wrestling World Champion Eric Young is set to return to WWE.

Young joined WWE NXT in 2016 where he became a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion and founded the SAnitY faction.

Pwinsider has confirmed with multiple sources that Young will return to WWE soon after recently finishing up with Impact Wrestling.

Young’s final TV appearance for Impact Wrestling saw the wrestler “stabbed to death” by Cody Deaner in a segment that aired on the most recent episode.

Deaner has seemingly taken the leadership role of Young’s Violent by Design faction, which includes Alan Angels and Big Kon.

Young was released from WWE in April 2020 as part of the first mass wave of releases explained as due to ‘budget cuts.’

He returned to Impact that July and won the Impact World Championship two months later from Eddie Edwards.

Chelsea Green Officially Quits IMPACT Wrestling Amid WWE Return Rumors

Chelsea Green is officially gone from IMPACT Wrestling.

During Thursday’s night episode of IMPACT! on AXS TV, Green lost to former IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Mickie James. In a backstage promo with Deonna Purrazzo, Green was upset that she didn’t beat Mickie James.

“I was supposed to beat her,” Green said. “I was supposed to retire Mickie James, Deonna. I’m going. I’m going home. Deonna, I’m going home.”

As noted, in several reports, she was reportedly a name that had “garnered interest from WWE,” and there had been an “internal discussion to bring a seasoned veteran like Green” back into the company. In a recent interview with WrestleZone, Green revealed that she had unfinished business at WWE.

“I have unfinished business at WWE, period, Green said. “But I would go into it totally different than I did the last time, and I think that’s also the beauty of growing up.”

Green was released from WWE back in April 2021. She signed with the company in August 2018 and worked on the “NXT” brand until she was called up to the main roster in November 2020. Her main roster debut was on the November 13 episode of “SmackDown,” and in her debut match, she broke her wrist. The match was a Survivor Series Qualifying Four Way, which Liv Morgan won. Natalya and Tamina were also in the qualifier. Green’s first main roster match sadly ended up being her last match in WWE since she was released while sidelined with her wrist injury.
