According to a report from Fightful Select, Tommy Dreamer is said to be back working with IMPACT Wrestling.
Dreamer was working behind-the-scenes and as a talent for IMPACT Wrestling, but then was suspended back in September following comments he made on the Dark Side of The Ring series episode about the 2002 “Plane Ride from Hell” with several WWE talent.
The report further noted Dreamer was said to have made his return at a recent set of TV tapings as an agent and producer and was not used as an on-air talent role.
Fightful Select further noted that there was initially heat on Dreamer for his Dark Side of The Ring comments. However, there is now a feeling with IMPACT Wrestling officials that his “punishment fit the offense”.
Dreamer did apologize for his comments after airing of the episode.
According to a new report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Mike Bennett and his real-life wife Maria Kanellis are reportedly returning to Impact Wrestling.

The couple had previously worked for IMPACT Wrestling from January 2016 to March 2017. Mike is a one-time X Division Champion, and Maria is a one-time Knockouts Champion.
