WWE News: Another Former Superstar Coming To SmackDown 1000
In just over 24 hours, WWE’s SmackDown Live heads to the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. to celebrate its 1000th episode for a show that’s packed with appearances and returns.
Already slated for tomorrow night is the return of The Undertaker, Batista’s first WWE appearance in over four years to reunite with Triple H, Ric Flair and Randy Orton as Evolution, plus appearances by Edge, Teddy Long, Vickie Guerrero, Kane, Torrie Wilson and Michelle McCool. Not to mention, Rey Mysterio kicks off his new WWE run as he faces United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a World Cup Qualifier.
Today, it looks like another former Superstar has been added to the show as PWInsider is reporting they have confirmed James Ellsworth will be back for SmackDown 1000. Ellsworth is fresh off of a surprise appearance and subsequent loss to Eli Drake last night at IMPACT Wrestling’s Bound For Glory. Of course, he was last seen in WWE this Summer before being “fired” by SmackDown General Manager Paige.
SmackDown 1000 comes your way tomorrow night at 8PM EST on the USA Network and as always, The Chairshot’s Steven Mitchell will be providing live coverage right here while other members of The Chairshot team share their live thoughts via Twitter.

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
