TNA Wrestling may have another surprise in store for fans at Slammiversary this weekend.
According to PWInsider.com, the company is planning to debut a former WWE talent during Sunday’s pay-per-view event at Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts.
Details regarding the performer’s identity remain under wraps, with the report only describing the individual as a “former multi-time singles champion.”
PWInsider’s Mike Johnson acknowledged that the description leaves the door open to a wide range of possibilities. “Could mean pretty much every title from Speed on up.”
While the description is intentionally vague, Johnson noted that there is indeed a new talent expected to appear at the event.
At this time, no additional clues regarding the mystery star have surfaced.
The reported debut would add another intriguing element to an already stacked Slammiversary card, which will feature multiple championship matches and the return of the Ultimate X match.
The event will also mark the return of Amazing Red to TNA for the first time since 2011, leading to speculation that additional surprises could be planned throughout the night.
