Backstage talk on former WWE star's role upon potential AEW move - Reports

One of the most vicious wrestlers in the entire wrestling business has not apparently renewed his contract with IMPACT Wrestling this year, and is currently a free agent. He has been rumored to join AEW. The star in question is Sami Callihan.

Callihan signed with IMPACT Wrestling in 2017, and since then, has won multiple titles throughout his tenure. After becoming a free agent as on October 1st 2023, there were talks about possibilities of The New Horror joining different promotions.

As reported by Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there was a strong rumor going around that Sami was joining AEW, and taking a new role in the promotion. He had been reportedly offered a role of in-ring wrestler, along with working as an agent. It is very hard to confirm his exact status at the moment, due to a lack of confirmed news. With Callihan currently taking dates outside, it was confirmed that no agreement had been signed between him and AEW yet.

It would be interesting to see which company does Sami Callihan sign with. Any promotion he goes, fans are sure to see varied kinds of hardcore matches.
