IMPACT tried to bring in several big names recently
Added 2021-10-24 18:07:28 +0000 UTCFightful has heard of several attempt to bring in new talent to IMPACT Wrestling that fell through.
All throughout Bound For Glory week, even talent believed that Braun Strowman was coming in to the company. We can confirm that the two sides had talks, but obviously Strowman wasn't at Bound For Glory, and we're told that a deal has not been made.
Bray Wyatt was also contacted about possibly coming in, although he would not have been able until after Bound For Glory as his non-compete wasn't up. We're told that a deal to bring in Bray Wyatt to IMPACT Wrestling was never close to happening.
One name that IMPACT was going to be able to bring in is the former Bronson Reed. In fact, Fightful was told by IMPACT sources that he was actually booked, then unbooked from the show, though reasons weren't given as to why that happened.

I'm wondering if the rumored ending of the talent sharing between IMPACT and AEW had anything to do with some things falling thru/not happening

2021-10-25 01:23:38 +0000 UTCI still think they bring Braun, but why do the strategic leak - because that’s exactly what it was - to Mike Johnson of Pwinsider, If they didn’t have him locked down?

2021-10-24 20:53:46 +0000 UTCI’ll just jump on the “IMPACT WRESTLING TO ESPN” train until it doesn’t happen. If the company can hype people up for something that won’t happen, why can’t I?!!😂🤷♂️

2021-10-24 20:52:37 +0000 UTCI think the plan was always to bring out Braun Strowman once that wasn't happening Bronson Reed would've been a great 2nd prize and he's arguably a better wrestler. I like Impact and I want them to succeed so I hope they get them both. I had no expectation Bray would sign

2021-10-24 18:40:33 +0000 UTCWhat on the show had to be in there over debuting Jonah? Overall I liked the show and even liked the Moose win at the end but they really needed to debut somebody last night. Product NEEDS buzz.
