— After a surprise appearance at the Bound for Glory PPV on Sunday, Joey Ryan has signed with Impact Wrestling – reportedly a multi-year contract. The news was first reported by SoCalUncensored.com and later confirmed by Ryan himself. Ryan had previously stated that he turned down offers from both AEW and WWE as he wanted to stay “independent”, though those claims were challenged and even denied by sources, at least within WWE.

It made the most sense. @IMPACTWRESTLING has been the most consistent wrestling program on TV for the past 2 years, I get to keep all of my indie dates and best of all, they let me be me. https://t.co/giuGvN8Qwt
