Ace Austin is getting one last shot at chaos before walking away from TNA Wrestling.

On the May 22 edition of TNA iMPACT, Austin faced off with Mustafa Ali in a singles match—but the real story came during the broadcast. It was revealed that Austin will be part of a huge eight-person tag team match at Under Siege on May 23. He’ll team up with Indi Hartwell and The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) to take on Mustafa Ali’s faction, Order 4, which includes Tasha Steelz, John Skyler, and Jason Hotch.

Ali picked up the win in their one-on-one clash, and the match graphic that followed promoted Austin’s team as featuring a “mystery partner”—but that question’s now answered.

This appearance is expected to be Austin’s TNA farewell, as his contract has expired. In his latest Uncrowned column, former TNA President Scott D’Amore confirmed the news: “Ace deciding to leave is amicable—he’s been there since he was barely out of his teens, and he’s ready to step up.”
