ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

A former WWE Superstar who held both the ECW Championship and Intercontinental Championship, is set to make his return after close to a decade out of the ring. On his YouTube channel, Ezekiel Jackson shared that he will be compering for FWE in North Carolina on March 15. In the video, Jackson reflected on how his full-time career ended.

“I keep asking myself if I ended my career the way I wanted to, and for the most part, I didn’t. So, I’ve always had that little chip on my shoulder, wanting to finish things on my terms. I’ve also had a bucket list of people I’d love to compete against, so we’re looking into scheduling a few things.\

Jackson is accepting bookings and the ex-Superstar, who remains \”big as hell\” is ready to have some fun. Despite his impressive physique, Jackson acknoweldged the importance of getting into \”ring shape,\” and shared his training strategy.

\”I’m adding more cardio-based workouts, incorporating some rowing, and I’ll be getting in the ring a few times this week and in the coming weeks.”

Jackson, the final holder of the WWE ECW Championship, last competed in October 2015 as part of an event for the Germany-based wXw promotion. At the time, it was shared that this marked the end of Jackson\’s in-ring career. Now fans can look forward to seeing the former WWE and TNA star back in the ring as he prepares to end his career on his own terms.

Who will advance to the King of the Ring final?
