Hammerstone has been cleared to compete.
Hammerstone had been out of action since the TNA Turning Point event in November, as he underwent surgery for a knee injury. He was set to return to the ring at a Destiny Wrestling event earlier this month.
In a tweet on February 23rd, Hammerstone wrote that he was officially cleared to compete, and he’s back. He noted that being out with an injury sucked, but he worked hard and did the rehab so he could return.
Well.. being out with injury sucked. But I worked hard, did the rehab and am officially cleared and back.

Hammerstone On NXT Appearance
Hammerstone previously crossed over to NXT as part of the working relationship between WWE and TNA; he wrestled Oba Femi on the September 10th episode of NXT. He discussed the experience on the Hitting The Turnbuckle Podcast.
“I mean, it was great (wrestling Oba Femi). The whole experience was phenomenal. Because, you know, I got to come in there as TNA’s Hammerstone and be me. Look like me, dress like me, come out to my music, wrestle the way I want, be branded as TNA’s guy. It’s just so cool. It’s such an interesting time in wrestling and to go out there and have a good showing. Obviously, in that match, I didn’t pick up the win. But at the same time, I believe I represented TNA well. At least well enough to come back the following week and pick up a victory. So, man, what a cool feeling, what a cool time in wrestling and hope there’s more to come.
“Oh, 100 percent (there’s pride that comes with representing TNA in WWE) but, not only is it pride. But, it’s just so cool how far things have come because the level of professionalism and respect I was treated with from everybody there. All the staff, all the coaches, all the producers. There was no element of this guy’s an outsider, so we’re gonna give him the short end of the stick. If anything, it was this guy’s an outsider so let’s make sure he has the best experience possible and to know the last time I was in a Performance Center, I was doing forward rolls until I just about puked. So it’s a whole different set of circumstances,” Hammerstone said. [H/T POST Wrestling]
