Ace Steel Competes in First TNA Match After 20 Years

Ace Steel previously confirmed he worked as a producer in TNA Wrestling following his AEW firing, but no one could have predicted he would be competing again. That’s exactly what happened during the latest set of TNA television tapings.

Joe Hendry recently announced Ace Steel as his manager, and this led to Ace Steel punching Frankie Kazarian during TNA’s Against All Odds pay-per-view. However, Hendry would still end up losing to Kazarian in the end.

However, during the latest set of TNA television tapings held on June 15th in Chicago, Ace Steel competed against Frankie Kazarian in a Chicago Street Fight. Kazarian would ultimately defeat Steel as well.

This marked Steel’s first match in TNA since 2002, when he last competed in a tag team match during an episode of NWA TNA Xplosion. Nevertheless, fans were happy to see Ace Steel compete in the ring again but it is likely he won’t be doing that again anytime soon.
