After declining offers from both WWE and AEW, famous indie wrestler Joey Ryan has decided to sign a multi-year contract with Impact Wrestling.
The news was reported by SoCal Uncensored and the wrestling star was quick to confirm these reports via a tweet, saying that the decision made the most sense:
As Joey revealed in the tweet above, the Impact contract allows him to continue working in the independent circuit and continue playing the character he has developed in the last several years.
Joey has already made his first appearance for the company under the new contract and he made a surprise appearance at the Bound For Glory PPV during the 20-Person Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match.
It’s worth mentioning here that this is not the first time Joey Ryan is working with Impact as he has previously worked for the company from 2012 to 2013.
He made his Impact debut back in May 2012. He faced opponents like Rob Van Dam, Austin Aries, and Joseph Park during his time in the company before being released from his contract in July 2013.
Apart from Impact, he has also worked for companies such as NWA, Lucha Underground and ROH and made some appearances for WWE as well.
