Vince Russo is not back with Impact Wrestling, contrary to rumours that have been circling online in recent months.

PWInsider's Mike Johnson confirmed as much, noting that some of the discussion may have arisen from the company's "open door" WrestleMania weekend policy for a planned retro show that was cancelled due to the current ongoing crisis. In response to a direct question on the matter, he said;

"Those rumours have made the rounds since before WrestleMania weekend. I am told he is not involved or employed in any way with Impact. There was indeed talk of using him at the now canceled TNA There's No Place Like Home PPV that was set for WrestleMania 36 weekend in Tampa as the idea was "no politics" and having an open door policy for that one night to celebrate the old TNA brand, but he was never officially booked.

He has not been at any tapings in Nashville and in speaking to someone extremely high up at Impact yesterday, I am told there are currently no plans for Russo within the company in any capacity, as a consultant, independent contractor or employee.

Obviously, it's pro wrestling and things can always change, but that's what I've been told by numerous people....and there's been no accidental emails to me, either. "
