Jake Crist Opens Up About His Recent Return To IMPACT Wrestling

Jake Crist discusses his recent return to IMPACT Wrestling.

After nearly two years away from the company, Jake Crist made a surprise return to IMPACT Wrestling as he was the tag team partner to Sami Callihan and Rich Swann. Together, the three took on The Design (Angels, Deaner & Kon) at IMPACT Under Siege on May 26.

Crist shared how his return happened during an appearance on Fightful’s In The Weeds.

“It was just presented to me, and I’m a worker, I’m not going to turn down any type of opportunity like that,” Crist said. “Being with Sami Callihan was the icing on the cake. I love Sami to death. That’s my best friend in the whole wide world. He’s amazing, a great individual, great talent, even better booker. The way he runs REVOLVER, he’s a genius, he’s our modern-day genius. I love Sami to death”

“To come back at IMPACT and wrestle with Swann and Sami, it was a dream come true,” Crist continued. “I was pinching myself. I’ve never been so nervous in my life to try to perform at a high level. I didn’t want to make Sami, Swann, or Sawyer [Madman Fulton] feel, ‘Ah, this guy shouldn’t be here.’ I had a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, had a little something to prove, not only to myself but to the wrestling world. I came out swinging for the fences and I feel a hit a dinger.”
