Sami Callihan Cuts Ties with Impact Wrestling Due to Pay Issues

Sami Callihan, once the backbone of Impact Wrestling, is now a wrestling wanderer, unshackled from the promotion that once hailed him a star. The surprising departure, you ask? It all boils down to the green stuff: money.

October 1st marked the official commencement of Sami Callihan’s free agency journey, bidding farewell to the company he helped put on the map – Impact Wrestling. This abrupt shift in career trajectory left fans flabbergasted, as many assumed he’d be a mainstay.

In an exclusive sit-down with Fightful, Callihan was keen to set the record straight: this was no bitter breakup. However, at the heart of this professional parting lay a fierce standoff over the almighty dollar.

Callihan laid it bare: “It’s one of those things, we could not come to an agreement on what I need to be paid to stay because I believed I offered more than what was really happening.”

But let’s not forget, Sami Callihan’s ambitions extend far beyond the wrestling ring. He sees himself as a wrestling architect, not just in the indie scene but also on the grand stage of national television. Negotiations wavered and swayed, a resolution seemed imminent, but when push came to shove, it was do or die.

Enter Jon Moxley, the passionate advocate for Callihan’s AEW venture. Their recent tête-à-tête has sent the rumor mill into overdrive, hinting at a potential Sami Callihan debut in All Elite Wrestling. As fans worldwide await the next thrilling chapter, one thing’s for sure: Callihan’s wrestling journey is far from over.
