Major Faction Returns At Latest IMPACT Wrestling Tapings
Some familiar colours were sported at last night's IMPACT tapings.
Could Aces & Eights be making a full-on return to IMPACT Wrestling? If last night's set of TV tapings are anything to go by, that could well be the case.
Taking place from Kissimmee, Florida, last night's Citrus Brawl tapings saw Wes Brisco, Garett Bischoff and D'Lo Brown head to the ring in Aces & Eights colours. There, Brisco and Bischoff - with D'Lo as their manager - lost against Honor No More's Kenny King and Vincent.
Previously, Brown was laid out by Honor No More back in January. Now, it appears that the former Vice President of Aces & Eights opted to call up some of his old buddies for back up.

Whether this was a one-off or the start of something more, that remains to be seen. Likewise, the status of Brisco and Bischoff is unknown at this stage, with both last competing for IMPACT Wrestling - then under the TNA banner - in late-2013. Brisco's release would be announced in January 2014, whilst Bischoff would be gone in April 2015 after over a year off TV.
As for Aces & Eights, that heel faction debuted in TNA in June 2012, with a group of masked men initially attacking Sting and then Hulk Hogan. Despite butting heads with the group for months, it would eventually be revealed that Bully Ray was the leader, aka President, of the stable.
By the time Aces & Eights disbanded in November 2013, its members had included Devon, Doc Gallows, Mr. Anderson, Knux, Brooke Tessmacher, Taz and the aforementioned trio of D'Lo Brown, Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff.
