The prodigal Magnus has returned.

Impact Wrestling announced that former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis will compete in his first match on Impact television since 2017, facing Sheldon Dean on this Thursday’s episode of “Impact on AXS.” While this is his first televised match since a 2017 loss to EC3 in a three-way match that also included James Storm, Aldis has wrestled in two Impact PPV matches in 2022, competing at Impact Multiverse of Matches in a tag match alongside his wife Mickie James, as well as Slammiversary 2022, where he helped the Impact Originals defeat Honor No More.
