Welcome to another edition of the IMPACT Wrestling roundup where we bring you the biggest news and rumors coming out of the IMPACT zone. With the 'forbidden door' wide open, multiple former WWE superstars have been showing up on promotions such as IMPACT Wrestling and AEW.
In today's edition, we are going to take a look into which former WWE Superstars are IMPACT bound and what could lie ahead for the company. IMPACT has already promised its fans that they have some big surprises planned for Bound for Glory which will take place on October 23rd 2021.
Two of the biggest names who are rumored to make their IMPACT debuts soon are former WWE Universal Champions Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt. It has also been said that the company is interested in signing Buddy Murphy as well. So without further ado, let us dive in the news and rumors for IMPACT Wrestling:
#5 Braun Strowman set to join IMPACT Wrestling soon
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter had stated that Braun Strowman is in talks with IMPACT Wrestling. There is speculation that The Monster Among Men will make his debut for the company at Bound for Glory.
Now, Fightful Select has said there is 'heavy interest' in Braun Strowman joining IMPACT. The company has been making a major play to sign the behemoth.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, IMPACT Wrestling is "heavily interested" in signing Strowman to their roster. Ross Sapp also notes that there's been a push backstage in IMPACT for the past month to bring him in.
It had also been rumored that Strowman did have talks with AEW sometime back, but nothing came of it. Therefore, it is quite likely that the former Universal Champion will join IMPACT Wrestling.
Braun Strowman would be a great addition to the roster as the fans will get treated to some great heavyweight fights if he joins as the company has some big names such as Moose and W.Morrisey that he could battle.
#4 Bray Wyatt set to join IMPACT Wrestling?
Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt may be Impact Wrestling bound. There has been a lot of speculation in regards to which company he will join once his non-compete clause is done.
Initial speculation led everyone to believe that Wyatt may be joining AEW, but there is no confirmation. Fightful Select recently reported that higher-ups are heavily pursuing Wyatt to join the promotion.
It is also said that a close friend of Wyatt's who works with the company is in charge of bringing the former Universal Champion on board. IMPACT has always done well with characters, and a genius like Bray Wyatt will certainly shine more in IMPACT than AEW.
#3 Former Champion Rich Swann wants Bray Wyatt to join
Former WWE superstar Rich Swann has stated that he is in favor of Bray Wyatt coming to IMPACT Wrestling. The former Impact Wrestling champion told SportsKeeda's Riju Dasgupta that Wyatt is everybody's favorite and he would love to have The Eater of the Worlds join the company.
"And then, the last person, everybody's favorite, one of the most captivating characters ever, The Fiend, Bray Wyatt. I'd love to see Windham in IMPACT. That would be awesome. There's not even much I could say on that. Hey what if The Fiend and the Undead Bride, just took control of IMPACT?", Rich Swann asked.
IMPACT Wrestling boasts many supernatural characters and was the home of Broken Matt Hardy. A character like The Fiend would work really well.
#2 The IInspiration set to debut on IMPACT Wrestling
Former WWE superstars Peyton Royce and Billie Kay are set to make their IMPACT Wrestling debut at Bound for Glory this month. The team, formerly known as The IIconics, will now be known as The IInspiration.
The two women will be a great addition to IMPACT's already thriving women's division. It is likely that they will not just compete for, but also win the Knockout's tag team titles.
The former WWE Women's Champions were released by the company shortly after WrestleMania 37. Their non-compete clauses ended in July this year.
#1 Mickie James comments on possible new signings in IMPACT Wrestling
Former WWE Women's Champion Mickie James will face the IMPACT Knockout's Champion Deonna Purrazzo at Bound for Glory 2021. The veteran spoke to Sportskeeda and talked about what the future holds for the company.
James said she is looking forward to more women joining the Knockout's division on IMPACT Wrestling. She talked about the possibility of a free agent crashing her match at the upcoming pay-per-view.
"The whole free agent thing is a cool thing, I think, because they can kinda show up wherever and that's a delightful surprise. I don't really know. Whoever it is, I hope they don't show up in our match. Cuz I got a lot of work to do there already. And I got a lot of b**t to kick already," joked Mickie James.
