It appears that Mia Yim might be departing IMPACT Wrestling soon.
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), Yim’s contract is set to expire on October 9.
That date falls two days following their Bound For Glory pay-per-view, where she’s scheduled to face Mickie James. Sapp has been unable to confirm if there have been any talks between the two sides regarding a possible contract extension.
Mia Yim made her IMPACT Wrestling return in May of this year following her WWE release in November of 2021. Prior to her release Yim hadn’t wrestled on WWE programming since December of 2020 when she lost to Nikki Cross as RECKONING on Main Event.
Yim is an incredible talent that should garner interest from every major wrestling company if her contract with IMPACT Wrestling expires next month.
Yim will face off with Mickie James at Bound For Glory on October 7. She recently spoke about how the Knockouts Division is giving women opportunities to be at the top of a promotion and how it’s great to have opportunities instead of worrying about taking spots.
“So I think the biggest thing is like what you don’t see on TV or on-screen, like Gail and Scott, it’s really cool to just be like okay, this is what we want, go out and do your thing. There’s no restriction like, there’s a lot of times, and this is no knock on anybody else,” Yim explained, “but a lot of the times it’s like, okay, we can’t do x, y, and x z because then we don’t want to overshadow the guys’ match before us or kind of take away from the main event that’s gonna be happening, things like that. Whereas Gail is very much like, ‘No, I want the girls to have the best match on the whole card, so go do what you have to do for that.’ So it’s really cool that we can get unleashed and just go all out without any restrictions, anything to kind of hold us back because we just wanna have good matches. But if we overshadow some of the guys, then…. you know?”
