There were reportedly two names backstage at this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite: Homecoming. In a recent report from Cassidy Haynes at BodySlam.net, these were a former WWE Superstar and a former IMPACT Knockout.
Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese was apparently at the show. Nese was released from his WWE contract back on June 25th as part of the company’s recent run of talent cuts across the rosters.
The former IMPACT Knockout that was backstage was Kiera Hogan. Hogan is a two-time IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Champion and opted to leave the company earlier this year to “see what else is available.”
