TNA Wrestling is teasing the return of a familiar face ahead of Rebellion this Saturday.
The promotion posted a teaser video on Friday featuring merchandise and ring gear associated with EC3, with the caption reading: "BREAKING: You CAN'T MISS TNA Rebellion THIS SATURDAY LIVE on PPV and TNA+! Get tickets now and join us at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio."

EC3 announced in January that he was departing the NWA after four years with the promotion, where he held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship from August 27, 2023 to August 31, 2024. His exit from NWA opened the door to speculation about his next move, and TNA's teaser suggests the answer could come as soon as this weekend.
EC3 is a two-time TNA World Champion and a familiar name to the promotion's fanbase. He left TNA in 2018 after drawing the pink slip in the Feast or Fired match, went on to sign with WWE, and was released from that deal in 2020 before eventually landing in NWA.
TNA Rebellion takes place Saturday, April 11 at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The card features Mike Santana defending the TNA World Championship against Eddie Edwards in the expected main event, Trey Miguel defending the TNA International Championship against Mustafa Ali, Leon Slater defending the TNA X Division Championship against Cedric Alexander, the Hardys defending the TNA World Tag Team Championships against The System's Bear Bronson and Brian Myers, Arianna Grace defending the TNA Knockouts Championship against Lei Ying Lee, Nic Nemeth facing A.J. Francis with Bernie Kosar in his corner, Frankie Kazarian vs. Elijah, Moose vs. Special Agent 0, and a Hardcore Country match pitting The Elegance Brand against ODB, Mickie James, and Taryn Terrell.
