Dixie Carter to make appearance at Impact Slammiversary
Former TNA President and owner Dixie Carter will return to the company for an appearance at this Sunday’s Impact Slammiversary pay-per-view.
ESPN’s Marc Raimondi first reported the news.
Carter’s return is part of the celebration for the company’s 20th anniversary.
The 57-year-old was president of then-TNA from 2003 through 2016 before selling her majority share to Anthem Sports & Entertainment. The company was renamed Impact Wrestling in 2017 and Carter eventually sold her minority stake.
The often-criticized Carter became an on-screen character as well and was involved in many of the company’s top angles.
Her last on-screen appearance was in January 2016 on the live Impact debut on Pop TV as part of an angle with her storyline nephew, Ethan Carter III.
