“A Double” Austin Aries bills himself as “The greatest man that ever lived.” This assertion is a direct reflection of his bigger-than-life personality and ostentatious wrestling style. Aries has quickly risen to prominence, basking in the adoration of his loyal fans. Arrogant and boastful, Aries relies on his concise and flawless executions to subdue his opponents in the ring.  

Aries returned to IMPACT WRESTLING in June 2011 and demanded the world’s attention. He quickly qualified for a coveted position at IMPACT WRESTLING’s annual Destination X Pay-Per-View by defeating three of the X Division’s top stars in an exhilarating Contract Match.  

Since that night, Aries pursued a mission to dominate the X Division, which he accomplished by claiming the TNA X Division Championship. However, he refused to stop there.

At Destination X 2012, Aries stunned the wrestling world by defeating the longest-running Heavyweight Champion in TNA history---Bobby Roode---to claim the ultimate prize and become TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Unfortunately, his reign ended at Bound for Glory 2012 when the “Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy defeated Aries and stole the title.

Although he no longer holds the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Aries recently earned the TNA World Tag Team title by aligning with Bobby Roode and defeating Hernandez and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. This now makes Aries the fifth TNA Triple Crown Champion in TNA history.
