“A reckoning is at hand.” At least that’s what the TNA 1/3/13 promo says and it was revealed during last night’s IMPACT that Sting is the one returning on that day.

The former WCW and TNA World Heavyweight champion has been off TNA television since the November 8 episode of IMPACT where he was taken out by Aces & Eights.

On that particular episode, the Stinger was put through a table and was then beaten up with a ball-peen hammer thanks to A&8 member Doc.

“Surprise. 13 13, unlucky number for you,” Sting says in the new promo. “Aces & Eights, I’m coming to get you. Doc, I’m coming for you. You first.”
