TNA Return?

It appears that Kevin Nash is a touch miffed that the WWE is not going to put him back in the ring as a full-time performer.

The WWE Legend known as "Diesel" was signed to a Legends deal back in January.

Nash has been very vocal against WWE's Youth Movement, where they have been trying to push new stars in the wake of slipping ratings and fan boredom. Kevin Nash claimed when Miz won the WWE Championship, that it "exposed the whole business as a work".

Knowing now that WWE does not plan on abandoning their Youth Movement, Nash took to his twitter to ask his fans whether or not he should go back to TNA.

I wouldn't recommend it just because I think they're starting to have a little death rattle, but what do I know?

Back To ROH!

Ring of Honor's Best In The World online pay-per-view just became a whole lot more awesome.

In a press release, ROH is confirming that former TNA Superstar Jay Lethal, pka "Black Machismo", will be returning to the independent promotion for the first time since 2008. Lethal was released several weeks ago by TNA, who obviously do not contain the standard no-compete clause codicils that appear in every WWE Superstar and Diva contracts.

The upcoming Best In The World pay-per-view is slated for June 26, 2011. I'm sure that Jim Cornette is thrilled to have this great talent working for the organization.

I will also note that as far as I can tell, there has been no interest from WWE to pick up Jay Lethal, but that doesn't mean that there is a chance that they won't in the future. Either way, it's great to see him keep doing what he's good at.

Set To Return

WrestleZone.com is reporting that TNA Knockouts Champion Mickie James is set to return to the ring at the next set of Impact tapings in the next two weeks.

Mickie has been out injured since a house show dark match against Madison Rayne in January. It is believed she suffered a separated shoulder.

Mickie competed in a thirty second squash match at Lockdown this past weekend, defeating Madison Rayne to capture the TNA Knockouts championship. This makes her the first woman in pro wrestling to hold every major women's championship.

Storyline wise, TNA covered up the injury by stating that Mickie was attacked by Madison and Tara, who apparently ran Mickie over with her motorcycle, injuring her and leaving her fate for Lockdown unknown.

Returning?

Various fan reports given to the site Diva-Dirt.Com is stating that former WWE Diva Lita (real name Amy Dumas) may just have her eyes on returning to the ring.

The various reports state that she feels she has one more good run left in her and to keep their eyes peeled for her return. Obviously, this contradicts the statements by fans who felt she had a bad attitude at Axxess over WrestleMania weekend.

This is also huge news, as Lita retired several months after Trish Stratus in 2006. With Trish back, and now Lita putting her eyes on a return, maybe things can pick up where they left off between the two of them?

The Divas division needs another shot in the arm that it is not getting from the current Divas, and that is not a shot to any of them. Maybe Trish and Lita 2.0 could do something to fix things.

Big Return!

At last night's Impact tapings, slated to air March 31 on Spike TV, fans were treated to an enormous surprise when one of TNA's biggest legends returned.

Christopher Daniels -- pictured here -- made his return to the Impact zone. The last time he had been seen, he was working as Suicide before an injury sidelined him. The last time he had been seen without a mask was just after the Bischoff-Hogan regime came in.

Christopher made his return at the tapings last night to help out Fortune when they were attacked and massacred by Immortal inside of a steel cage after the main event. Apparently the reaction for Daniels was huge.

I have to admit that I'm glad to hear that Daniels has come back to TNA, as he, AJ and Samoa Joe are the reasons why I started watching TNA in the first place. However, I don't know if this is going to make the disillusioned fans care all that much at this point. I suppose only time will tell.

Minor Spoiler for Tonight's Taping

Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net is reporting that Abyss has returned to TNA at tonight's Impact tapings, set to air a week from Thursday. Abyss has not been seen on television since he had his nail studded 2x4 Janice stuck in his back.

According to Powell, Abyss helped Ric Flair, Matt Hardy and Bully Ray when AJ Styles and the Fortune faction got the better of them. So it appears that Abyss is still a heel and very much still aligned with Hulk Hogan and Immortal.

I have to admit, it's been great having Abyss gone, since people were starting to object to having him shoved down their throats. However, with him coming back now after such an absence, I think it could do huge things for Abyss as a character.
