EC3 made his anticipated return to Impact tonight in the closing moments of Slammiversary.

As we previously reported ... the show ended with Eddie Edwards winning the Impact title, then celebrating his win with The Good Brothers who helped fend off Ace Austin and Madman Fulton.

While Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows drank beer together in the ring beside Eddie celebrating on the turnbuckle, the feed mysteriously cut to black.

When it came back, EC3 was shown on the screen on the set of his "Control Your Narrative" videos holding a glass of whiskey like the mystery person on Impact as of late. He then smashed the glass against the wall and stared at the screen as the show came to a close.

The former Impact champ was released from WWE in April alongside multiple other wrestlers. Since then, he's been utilizing a new gimmick in social media videos.

Watch his appearance at Slammiversary below.
