Backstage News On Mia Yim’s Contract With IMPACT Wrestling
Mia Yim has not signed a long-term contract with IMPACT Wrestling, according to Fightful Select.
It was noted that Yim’s deal is a short one as of now, with it being a six month contract. The contract will keep her with the company through the Bound For Glory pay-per-view in October. The report added that both sides aren’t opposed to the idea of extending the contract in due course.
Yim returned to IMPACT at Saturday’s Under Siege event, where she saved Taya Valkyrie from a post-match beatdown at the hands of Deonna Purrazzo. Yim got in the face of The Virtuosa, teasing a future match between the two women. Purrazzo had earlier lost to AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Taya Valkyrie in a rematch for the title.
Yim has been very selective about her wrestling appearances since her WWE release last November. She made her in-ring return at a WrestleCon show last month, in a win over Athena (FKA Ember Moon).
Mia Yim previously wrestled as Jade for TNA/IMPACT from 2015 to 2017, capturing the Knockouts Championship on one occasion. She was also the 2016 Queen of the Knockouts. She left the company in January 2017.
Last night marked Yim’s first televised appearance at a wrestling event since her release from WWE in November 2021.
Her last match in WWE was a four-minute loss to Nikki Cross during a December 2020 taping of WWE Main Event nearly a year before her release.
In February 2022, Yim married Keith Lee, who was also released from WWE last November.
She made her return to wrestling at the WrestleCon Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow on March 31, where she defeated fellow WWE alum Athena (Ember Moon.)
Yim wrestled for Impact Wrestling as Jade from 2015 to 2017 and signed with WWE in 2018.
Debuting as part of ‘The Dollhouse,’ a heel faction led by Taryn Tarrell, the group would split in March 2016 and Yim would win the Impact Knockouts Championship the following month.
Her last match in Impact was on the January 12, 2017 Xplosion tapings, losing a Last Woman Standing match to Rosemary.
