FORMER NFL STAR D'ANGELO WILLIAMS RETURNING TO IMPACT

By Mike Johnson on 2018-07-02 23:13:00

TMZ.com reported this evening that former NFL star D'Angelo Williams, who had an incredible performance at last year's Slammiversary PPV, will be returning to the company next week.

Williams will be getting involved in the Moose vs. Austin Aries storyline leading into their main event match at the 7/22 Slammiversary PPV in Toronto.  Williams will appear on the 7/12 episode of Impact Wrestling, helping Moose with his training for the PPV bout.

Williams had an excellent first-time showing last year, teaming with Moose in a victory over Eli Drake and Chris Adonis, but announced afterwards that he intended his excursion into pro wrestling to be a one-time visit.  Obviously, that has changed, although there's no official word whether he'll be stepping back inside the ring.

Impact is pushing the Williams return early, potentially as a way to reverse the recent dip in their weekly Impact Wrestling audience.
