There has been a lot of concern in TNA Wrestling over the past month or so, and now there is even more of it. After Ring Of Honor landed on Destination America , everyone thought that was the end. Then, there were concerns of the last-ever tapings coming up. Now, Jeff Jarrett and a host of others returned on tonight’s Impact Wrestling , and it has locker room morale at an all-time low.
The obvious biggest return to TNA Impact Wrestling on Thursday was that of Jeff Jarrett and his wife Karen. The co-founder of TNA and owner of Global Force Wrestling returned wearing a shirt with his new company on it, and shocked the world.
Jarrett says he was invited back to TNA to compete in the “King of the Mountain” match at Slammiversary .

Jarrett and his wife spoke of leaving TNA on their own terms this time, and it was quite a great promo. Still, it was far from the only big return that happened on Impact tonight, and the others weren’t just as huge, but still unexpected. After the Jarrett promo, Bram took on none other than Big Van Vader. Midway through the match, Bram started beating down Vader with a turnbuckle piece and keeps going, but Matt Morgan returns out of nowhere to make the save.

Morgan was last seen in TNA back in June of 2013. Actually, he retired from wrestling in January of 2014, but now he will face Bram on Sunday at Slammiversary .
Earlier in the show, Velvet Sky won her spot back on the roster of TNA with a win over Angelina Love. Sure, she had returned a couple of weeks ago, but needed to fight for her roster spot.
Later, former TNA Tag Team Champion Hernandez returned to the company, and he ended up joining forces with the BDC. Hernandez hasn’t been seen in TNA since way back in November of 2013.
One of the biggest things now though is that WrestleZone is reporting the morale in the TNA locker room is very low. According to Wade Keller, it’s actually “pretty rough” and got worse with all the returns.
Sunday is going to be a huge show for TNA with Slammiversary and three wrestlers returned tonight that will likely appear in a match. There were already a lot of guys backstage who weren’t in a match, but now some returning stars are automatically getting a big payday?
It’s being said that many didn’t even have a clue that Jarrett was coming back tonight.
The return of Jeff Jarrett may mean some kind of deal between TNA Impact Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling , or it could be a one-time deal. Whatever the case, the other returns of Matt Morgan, Hernandez, and Vader may have thrilled the fans, but it made talent morale sink even further.
