Eddie Edwards is sticking with IMPACT Wrestling.
IMPACT officials confirmed to Sports Illustrated that former IMPACT Champion Eddie Edwards has re-signed with the company. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“I’ve been here for almost eight years, and I’ve done a lot,” Edwards says. “And there is still a lot more for me to prove.”
On-screen Edwards turned his back on IMPACT to side with Honor No More (Matt Taven, Maria Kanellis, Mike Bennett, Kenny King, Vincent and PCO).
“Originally, I had planned to do more tagging with Sami Callihan, but he got hurt so that changed what I was doing,” Edwards says. “It was time for a change, and this is my opportunity to step outside my comfort zone. So let’s see what we can do. When ROH changed [its structure, announcing that all talent would be released from their contracts], I wanted every one of them to come to Impact. This group is really, really talented. They’re going to show why it was a mistake to let them slip away.”
Edwards is set to face Rich Swann on Thursday's episode of IMPACT.
Fightful provides live coverage of IMPACT Wrestling every Thursday beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
