Jonathan Gresham has signed with Impact Wrestling.
The former Ring Of Honor Champion arrived on the December 16th edition of Impact, saving fellow ROH alumni Delirious from an Eddie Edwards attack. Edwards and Gresham didn't get physical, but it was later announced they would soon - a match between the two was booked for January 13th's Hard To Kill pay-per-view.
Gresham first wrestled for Impact last January, working a Pure Rules clash with Chris Sabin ahead of a run that concluded in March. Gresham and Edwards were supposed to wrestle earlier this year when Edwards' Honor No More stable was one of the bigger developments on the show. It's possible the two will revisit those prior hostilities in building the long-awaited showdown.
The signing concludes a busy year for Gresham, having wrestled 55 times for 19 different promotions and held multiple titles along the way. He lost his Ring Of Honor Champion to Claudio Castagnoli in July, having worked four times for All Elite Wrestling before the two sides parted ways amidst some acrimony.
