The March 26 episode of TNA iMPACT featured two unexpected appearances, as Buff Bagwell and Crazzy Steve both returned during the broadcast.

Bagwell appeared in an in-ring interview segment conducted by Gia Miller, where he addressed the live crowd with an emotional message. He spoke openly about his recent struggles, including the leg amputation he underwent last year, and credited his faith for helping him through the difficult period. Bagwell also issued an apology for his actions over the past two decades before making a bold statement about his future.

He told the audience that if they supported him, he would walk to the ring and compete for TNA Wrestling one more time.

The segment was interrupted by Frankie Kazarian, who mocked Bagwell’s comments. Kazarian took aim at Bagwell’s promise to “walk” to the ring, claiming he was “half the man he used to be” while declaring himself “twice the man he ever was.” The situation escalated until Elijah made his way out, chasing Kazarian off and showing support for Bagwell by offering to accompany him to the ring.

Bagwell’s history with TNA dates back to 2002, when he competed in four matches, including an appearance on the promotion’s debut show.

Later in the episode, Crazzy Steve made his return in a filmed segment alongside Rosemary and Allie. The appearance marked his first time back in TNA since April 2024.

At this stage, it remains unclear whether Steve has officially re-signed with the company or if this was a one-off appearance. Since his previous run, he has stayed active on the independent circuit and had a brief stint with the National Wrestling Alliance. He also made a dark match appearance for All Elite Wrestling in January 2025 but did not continue with the promotion afterward.

Both returns added notable moments to the March 26 broadcast, bringing familiar faces back into the spotlight on TNA programming.
