Former WWE World Champion Could Join Impact Wrestling Soon

Dave Meltzer mentioned on Monday’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio could finally be making his Impact Wrestling debut. According to Meltzer, a deal between the sides are still ongoing and have yet to agree to terms.

Rumors about Mysterio talking with the promotion dates back to the summer of 2017. The company is trying to get Mysterio signed for the tapings this week in Orlando, Florida at Universal Studios

Mysterio made it clear in an interview with ESPN in December that he’s not currently signed to any deal with any promotion.

“I’m not locked up to any company,” Mysterio said. “I’m an independent contractor, as we say. I could go work wherever I want. That’s the beautiful thing about being on this side of the fence. You don’t have a commitment with only one company. You can go around and pretty much wrestle wherever you want. You can choose when you want your off-days to be. That was one of my main priorities when I left WWE.”
