Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned ex-WWE wrestler Damien Sandow signed a contract with TNA Wrestling and will be making his debut with the company tomorrow on Impact.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us the contract was recently made official, but they were tight lipped on the length of his deal.
As we previously reported, Sandow was released with 7 other wrestlers back in May and Dixie Carter said afterward that she wanted to talk business with some of them when it was allowed.
Rolling Stone first reported that a mystery wrestler would be debuting on Impact tomorrow and the promo they premiered strongly hinted that it would be Sandow. Since then, Damien tweeted the story out and said, “Huh, this is interesting. Time to make an #impact.”

TNA Knockout Jade has been speaking out about domestic abuse. She penned a column on Time.com discussing being a victim of domestic abuse, and noting that she would stay silent because she didn’t want to be known as a victim.
“In order to be a top female wrestler, I needed to be perceived as a strong woman, not a victim,” Jade wrote. “Besides, I was working with World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) NXT program, and my ex and I were both working with TNA Impact Wrestling at the time, so I felt I had to protect both of our careers.”
She said that her boyfriend at the time would choke her, and once kicked her in her injured knee and locked her in a closet, amongst other incidents. She is urging people to join Safe Horizon’s #PutTheNailinIt campaign to end domestic violence. You can get more details about the campaign at PutTheNailInIt.org/.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that the situation regarding the future of TNA “is coming to a head.”
As noted, TNA has been trying to sell a stake in the company for a while, and have been looking for a deal that would allow Dixie Carter to remain on as President. Aroluxe Marketing, which former wrestlers The Harris Twins are involved with, have been working with the company on the production side and are minority owners.
Meltzer said that TNA is in a situation where some sort of sale could be close. He added that while it’s not known who the buyer is, “people in the know have been saying that it’s closer than it’s been in awhile.”
