Impact Wrestling will be using the polarizing Ace Steel tonight for its biggest event of the year, Bound for Glory, which airs live on pay-per-view.
Steel had been working for AEW, but things went sideways a year ago due to the AEW All Out brawl out involving CM Punk, who pushed for the promotion to rehire him after they released him for his part in All Out brawl.
Once Punk was let go, many thought it was just a matter of time before Steel would be next and that was the case. He had been working for AEW remotely.
PWInsider reports Steel is set to work Bound for Glory as a producer. He’s in town for the show, and this is being seen as a tryout in the role, as the promotion wanted him after he split ways with All Elite Wrestling last year before being brought back.
“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,” PWInsider wrote. “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 has a history with Impact, as he wrestled for them in 2002. Check out the final BFG card here.
