On the September 20 episode of Impact Wrestling at Mexico, Eddie Edwards returned and attacked the trio with his kendo stick alongside Johnny Impact.

In March 2019 it was announced that Edwards had signed a multi-year deal with Impact Wrestling.[120]

Throughout the second half of 2019 and into 2020, Edwards would feud with Ace Austin, and then Michael Elgin (engaging in a best of five series with the latter that came to a draw after a double pin in match five), and on July 18, 2020, Edawrds would win the now renamed Impact World Championship for the second time, winning a fatal five-way elimination match at Slammiversary for the vacant title.

Personal life

Edwards is married to fellow Impact wrestler Alisha Edwards (nee Inacio), and the two have one daughter together. Edwards is close friends with fellow pro wrestlers Davey Richards, Roderick Strong, and Daniel Bryan.[121]
