Former WWE star Vladimir Kozlov made his return to IMPACT Wrestling on October 12, coming to the aid of Dirty Dango.
A 5-Way match-up on last night’s IMPACT saw Jordynne Grace, Eric Young, Jake Something, Dirty Dango (Fandango) and Champagne Singh face off with the winner entering as #20 in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at IMPACT Bound For Glory on October 21.
With help from the returning Kozlov, working under his real name of Oleg Prudius, Dango was able to secure the #20 spot.
This marks a return to IMPACT Wrestling for Prudius after his cameo appearance in March 2023.
Prior to this, he was a Russian language commentator for the company in 2021.
Footage from the 5-Way match, including Prudius’ appearance, can be seen below this news story.
WWE signed Prudius to a developmental deal in January 2006 and he would go on to his main roster debut in April 2008.
He would go on to hold the WWE Tag Team Championship with Santino Marella and was released from WWE in August 2011.
