Impact Wrestling recently returned to the Impact Zone to tape several episodes of their weekly TV series. Spike TV Senior Vice President and Executive Producer Scott Fishman was backstage for the tapings on Sunday and it was later reported that he was talking to Jeff Jarrett about Impact possibly returning to Spike TV in the US, but apparently that’s not the case.

However, fans who were getting their hopes up in regards to a possible return to Spike TV for Impact Wrestling are sure to be disappointed, because it doesn’t look like Impact will be making the jump anytime soon.
