After being out of action for nearly a full year, Heath is back in IMPACT.
Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering & Cody Deaner) ordered Rhino to come to the ring and make a decision regarding his status in Violent By Design.
Doering, Young and Deaner previously beat Rhino down and on this week’s show, they asked him if he was with the group or against them. Before he could answer, Heath made his return to IMPACT Wrestling and ran off Violent By Design.
Heath came to the aid of Rhino but Rhino was not too receptive of his former tag team partner. Rhino ended up walking away from Heath and exiting the ring.
