According to reports, Roderick Strong signed a deal with TNA in the last few days. Although Strong had been used in the past in TNA including appearances on Impact! in the Fox Sports Net days, he made his official return at the Unbreakable PPV on September 11th in a very impressive match against Austin Aries.

On a related note, Austin Aries has or is about to be offered a deal from TNA as well. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion has been used at the last two TNA PPV events when he faced Christopher Daniels at Sacrifice in August and against Strong at Unbreakable two weeks ago. Either way, TNA is hoping to finalize a deal with Aries and many other stars in time for the September 27th TV tapings.
