Fightful reported over the weekend that there was interest from both Callihan and Impact Wrestling in reaching a deal that would keep the 36-year-old in the company. However, PWInsider reported that the feeling backstage at Impact’s TV tapings in Memphis this weekend is that Callihan was finishing up with the promotion.
News that Callihan could be departing Impact soon comes just days after Pat Laprade reported that PCO has given notice to the company. PCO’s contract is believed to expire on October 30.
Callihan’s potential departure also comes after the promotion announced it will be running fewer dates than originally expected in 2023 due to making upgrades to its production.
Callihan first debuted with Impact Wrestling in 2017 and held the promotion’s world title from October 25, 2019, until January 12, 2020.
