Tonight IMPACT Wrestling (fka TNA) will air their biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory 2023 LIVE on pay-per-view from the Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois.
Because the event goes down in Illinois, there are several ongoing rumors that CM Punk will return to the company tonight, after already having a brief run in 2003, back when it was still named ‘Total Nonstop Action!’.
The following news is obviously going to add more fuel to the fire, as PWInsider reports that Ace Steel, a close personal friend of CM Punk, who was also recently fired by All Elite Wrestling, is going to be working as a Backstage Producer at Bound For Glory tonight.
Here’s what they reported:
“Former WWE NXT and AEW Coach and Producer Chris Guy aka Ace Steel is in Chicago and will be working Bound for Glory weekend as a Producer for Impact Wrestling. One source categorized Steel as having a tryout as a Producer this weekend, noting that IMPACT Wrestling had wanted to bring him in before he returned to work for AEW in a remote position.
Now that Steel is again free and clear of his AEW contract, we are told IMPACT once again reached out and offered the same opportunity. Steel actually worked for IMPACT back when it was known as TNA at least once as a wrestler in 2003, working a TNA Xplosion tag team bout.”
