The former Heath Slater (Heath Miller) will make his in-ring debut for Impact Wrestling next Tuesday night on AXS TV.
Impact has announced that the four-time WWE Tag Team Champion, who is now going by just the "Heath" name, will challenge TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose on next week's Impact Wrestling episode.
Heath first debuted for Impact on July 18th at the Slammiversary pay-per-view. He then declared himself to be a free agent, but was interrupted by Rohit Raju. Heath fought Raju off, and then had a brief backstage segment with his former WWE partner, Rhino. Heath was told to leave the arena by Impact executive Scott D'Amore, because he wasn't an employee. This week's Impact episode saw Heath interrupt a Moose interview. Moose invited Slater to come back next week for a match, and D'Amore agreed.
