An incident involving a fan and Eddie Edwards unfolded during a World Tag Team Championship match at this week’s TNA Final Resolution event. The match saw Edwards and Brian Myers challenge reigning champions The Hardys, who won the titles at Bound for Glory, kicking off the third title reign for the pair.
During the match, Edwards and the fan had a heated exchange that resulted in the fan slapping Edwards. While the slap seemed light, Eddie slapped the fan back and shoved them back to their seat before officials handled the situation. The fan was removed from the area of the crowd while Edwards stated into the camera “I’m still having fun.”
Following the incident, fans speculated as to whether this was a real off-the-cuff moment or if it was a planned part of the show. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that the fan was “immediately escorted from the building and turned over to local police,” suggesting that what happened had not been planned.
This controversial incident was not the only situation at Final Resolution to raise eyebrows. The show also marked the TNA return or Tessa Blanchard, over four years after her controversial exit from the company. The first-ever female Impact World Champion attacked Jordynne Grace, kicking off a feud between the two that Grace has had reservations about.
