Impact Wrestling brought the TNA title back a year as part of a promotional effort that was to lead to a TNA Reunion PPV during Wrestlemania weekend, an event that ended up canceled when the COVID-19 pandemic began to take hold. Since that time Moose carried the championship, having declared himself the TNA Champion.
Within the confines of Impact Wrestling storylines, the idea was that Moose was unofficially the TNA Champion and that the belt wasn't recognized...until tonight.
During tonight's Impact on AXS episode, Impact ran an angle where Moose charged the ring and immediately speared Jake Something, who had just won a Tables Match over Deaner, through one of the tables in the corner that weren't utilized Moose then took the mic and apologized to AXS TV, telling him that there won't be a show tonight until he gets the Impact title shot he was promised by Rich Swann.
Impact official Scott D'Amore came out and stated that Swann wasn't cleared and isn't even in the building tonight. Jake Something returned and tried to get past officials to get to Moose. Moose told hm he better be careful or he was going to end up with a lot worse than he got. Scott said he can have a title shot. As of now, the TNA title is an official title in Impact Wrestling and he's going to defend it in the main event against Jake Something.
So, as of tonight, the TNA World Title lives again.
The original plan for the TNA resurgence last year was to eventually spin TNA off as it's own promotion with a separate series on AXS TV, so it will be interesting to see if that plan is still in play a year later.
