Mr. Anderson has returned to TNA Wrestling. The former two-time TNA World Champion appeared on this week’s episode of Impact, but his homecoming quickly escalated into the center of an ongoing feud involving Frankie Kazarian and Steve Maclin.
The return took place during Kazarian’s “King’s Speech” segment. At first, Kazarian greeted Anderson warmly, but the exchange turned hostile as he shifted focus to his rivalry with Maclin. Kazarian disparaged Maclin’s military background and, referencing Anderson’s own service, went so far as to question whether Anderson himself was a coward.
The remarks drew an immediate response. Anderson confronted Kazarian face-to-face, seizing him by the jaw before he could escalate further. That confrontation was cut short when Jake Something blindsided Anderson from behind. The numbers advantage didn’t last long, as Maclin charged the ring and drove off Kazarian and Something, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Anderson in the aftermath.
Anderson’s return is his first in TNA since 2016, when his initial six-year run concluded after two reigns as World Heavyweight Champion. Now aligned with Maclin against Kazarian and his allies, the veteran appears positioned for another significant chapter in the promotion.
