Kimber Lee Provides Update On Her Status With IMPACT Wrestling & In-Ring Future

Kimber Lee clarifies her status with IMPACT Wrestling.

Though she’s technically still under contract with IMPACT Wrestling, Kimber Lee has not wrestled for the company since December 2021. In October 2022, Kimber Lee stated that she still had one year left on her contract after signing a three-year deal in 2020. Lee also disclosed that she’d been in talks with IMPACT’s Head of Talent Relations, Gail Kim, about setting up a potential return. Evidently, nothing has transpired on that front so far.

In a new update, Kimber Lee told Piers Austin that she had inked a per-appearance deal, and despite her absence, she was still technically signed with them. As Lee’s absence became more extensive though, Lee believes the company decided to just let her contract ride out.

“I mean technically, technically, I’m still signed right now (to IMPACT Wrestling),” she said. “I was never released from my contract, technically. They’re just not using me because I’m a per-appearance contract. So, they’re just letting it run out. So that’s why I said, ‘No, I’m still signed technically.’ I don’t remember the particular circumstances of why I was holding onto it so long at that point. There was a lot going on in my life.”

As Kimber Lee’s run in IMPACT appears to be coming to a close, she hopes to make a comeback in wrestling sometime in the future. For now, though, she’s taken a bit of a step back from professional wrestling.

“Right now, it’s taken a backseat for the last couple of months (her wrestling career) but I certainly want to come out and have at least one more big push, see what I can do. Australia is somewhere I have never been that is on my list. So I would love to go there. I wanna tour Europe again, I wanna go back to Japan. There’s stuff I still wanna do, I’m not done.”

“I’m certainly not done but I just needed that time to find myself again… I was going through a lot of stuff in personal life and then that shoot job life, I was going through a lot there too because I had started in vet med and I thought that was gonna be the thing I would do after wrestling and then that turned out to be a whole sh*t show of itself and so, now I’ve actually — I’m getting ready to release the first episode of a YouTube series I’ve started because I’m now living kind of out in the middle of nowhere in a camper on two acres of land and homesteading because it’s the cheapest option for me right now.”

“It’s kind of the thing I needed to get away from all the things that have me plugged in. I wanted to get away from cities. I get to go outside every night and see a full sky of stars, it’s beautiful. There’s so many critters around me. It’s been great for the last, about, three weeks I’ve been here now, and I’m doing a YouTube series about it and doing my laundry outside and having a clothesline and you have to turn the water on if you wanna — there’s just some things that are different but it’s been cool so I’m excited to share that and I’m also focusing on just some different things, there’s different things coming so, you’ll see (she laughed).
