A former WWE star has officially signed with TNA Wrestling, six months on from his last match in the company.
After defeating Josh Alexander at TNA Genesis on January 19, Mike Santana came to the ring to address the crowd at this week’s live TNA iMPACT taping (January 23).
His address would not get far however, as he was interrupted by the surprise return of former TNA X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali, who had some important news to share.
Ali took the microphone and announced that he has now officially signed with TNA Wrestling, and immediately set his sights on the company’s top prize.
Ali said:
“I am here to officially announce that I, Mustafa Ali have signed with TNA Wrestling. But folks there’s work to be done, TNA needs great leadership, and I am that great leader.
“I want to give all of you something truly to believe in, so ladies and gentlemen I am launching a campaign, a campaign in which I become the next World Heavyweight Champion.”
