A year ago, Eddie Edwards won the Impact title at Slammiversary. This year he will make his return to the ring at the event for the first time since his appendix burst in May.
Universally respected and beloved throughout the industry, Edwards has a carefree spirit that helps him remain fearless in the ring. It is also the source of intermittent trouble, as that willingness to try anything in the ring relates directly to a stubborn belief that he is never too injured to work. And that was the exact situation he found himself in this spring during Impact tapings in Nashville, when he suffered through the pain of an appendectomy.
