Dirty Dango Makes Surprise Return at Against All Odds

Friday’s TNA Against All Odds 2024 event also featured Dirty Dango making his surprise return.

During the TNA World Tag Team Championship match between Ryan & Nic Nemeth and The System, Alisha Edwards interfered while the referee was not looking leading to Dirty Dango coming out and making his surprise return. Dango then informed the referee that Edwards had been interfering lead to the referee kicking out Edwards from ringside and Dango staying to be in the corner of the Nemeths.

Near the end of the match, Ryan Nemeth hit a Leaping Flatliner that was followed by Nic Nemeth hitting a Danger Zone for a near fall that was broken up by someone off-screen yanking the referee out of the ring. This led to the referee looking at both Dango and Moose and being confused over who did it while Moose and Dango claimed the other one did it. While the referee was distracted with Moose, Dango attacked Ryan and shoved him head first into the corner leading to The System retaining the TNA World Tag Titles.
