Brian Myers, the former Curt Hawkins in WWE, made his in-ring return to Impact Wrestling Tuesday night and answered World Champion Eddie Edwards’ open challenge in the show’s main event.
While Myers put up a fight, Edwards picked up the victory after hitting the BKP to retain the title in a back-and-forth match.
Myers officially announced his return to the company on the July 21st Impact in a vague vignette. The 35-year-old had a brief run with Impact in 2015 as part of the Global Force Wrestling invasion angle and held the tag team titles for a day with Trevor Lee.
Myers became a free agent when he was released as part of the mass WWE cuts in April. He also made an appearance on Talk’N’Shop A Mania, put on by fellow Impact co-workers and former WWE co-workers Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
Myers was part of a recent crop of free agent signings by Impact which includes Gallows, Anderson, Heath Slater, Eric Young, and ECIII.
