Heath Slater Says WWE Stars Have Contacted Him About Joining Impact Wrestling

Former WWE star Heath Slater has claimed that several people within WWE have contacted him about joining Impact Wrestling, a promotion he joined just a few months about being fired by WWE.

During a recent interview with TV Insider, the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion claimed that people within WWE have approached him and told him they’d like to eventually do some work with Impact:

“They know when they are locked down under contract, they can’t get out. That’s the bottom line. You may have well signed yourself up for the military. But guys that did get released and guys from other companies have been texting and calling and asking about Impact. The WWE crew, some of them have been like, ‘Man, that would be awesome to do this, But I still got a year-and-a-half or another year.’ I’m like, ‘Remember what you’re saying because years go by pretty fast. So if you really want to, I might know a guy.’ The interest is there for sure.”

We’ll have to see what happens in the future, but it’s entirely possible that several people within WWE let their contracts expire and then join Impact Wrestling later down the line.

Of the people released by WWE in April, The Good Brothers, EC3, Deonna Purrazzo, Brian Myers, Eric Young and the aforementioned Heath Slater all went on to join Impact Wrestling, with all but Myers appearing at Slammiversary in July.
