Impact Wrestling has added former WWE star Konnor to their roster and according to PWInsider, he will be part of a stable. Many of you might remember him as one half of The Ascension. He was released by WWE in 2019 and he has been wrestling on the independents as Big Kon.
PWI reports that he will be part of the Violent By Design stable that is led by Eric Young. Click here for a spoiler on a former AEW star who joined the stable during the tapings on Friday night.
This is not Konnor’s Impact debut. He worked a couple of Impact shows earlier this year. He lost to Josh Alexander at the January tapings in Pembroke Pines, Florida and he lost to Eddie Edwards on the Before The Impact tapings held on the following night.
Konnor said the following about his appearances at Impact earlier this year:
“We don’t know if it’s a one off or what was going on, but it was one of those deals where Tommy Dreamer gave me a phone call and said ‘Hey, man, we’re in town. We want to give you an opportunity. We want to bring you in and let you get some TV time’, and I was like ‘Cool, like yeah, absolutely.’ I asked Tommy, ‘Do you think it’s worth it?’ He said, ‘I’d like to get eyes in front of Scott D’Amore.’”
“So first off, I love Tommy, and I think very highly of Tommy because Tommy was one of the original guys that found me before I was even hired by WWE. He was actually in the talent relations department. So I’ve always trusted him. He’s one of the good ones,” Konnor said.
“So Tommy invited me down. I met Scott D’Amore. They gave me, I think it was like 13 to 15 minutes, with Eddie Edwards. We did a great job. Then the next night, it was just a quick in and out, but you never know what’s going to happen. There was nothing signed or anything that was done there. It was just good business. So we’ll see what happens. You never know.”
It looks like he is not a member of the roster since he has been added to Violent By Design.
