Moose Confirms WWE Interest, Explains Why He Chose IMPACT Instead

Moose has confirmed that he recently had the opportunity to sign with WWE, explaining why he chose to re-sign with IMPACT instead.

It was reported last month that Moose and IMPACT had came to terms on a new deal. It was later reported that WWE expressed interest in signing the former TNA World Champion, and were considering debuting him on the main roster.

On Mina’s House podcast, Moose has revealed that he could’ve went to WWE recently, but chose to re-sign with IMPACT. Comparing the two companies, Moose said:

“Never say never, right? I’ve had chances to go (to WWE) and had an opportunity to go there not too long ago, but turned it down to stay with IMPACT. I am staying (with IMPACT). I signed a new deal and I’m staying. I had an opportunity to leave to go to WWE, but I just felt like, right now, IMPACT was better for me with what they offered and the schedule and how I’m being used. We’ll see what happens with WWE in the next couple of years.

“I would say at IMPACT Wrestling, you have more creative control than you do elsewhere. There are things that they might tell me I’m going to do and if it makes me look a certain way, I might tell them how much I dislike it and out of respect just not do it or make it better for me, but sometimes that doesn’t always work. It’s 50/50 on creative.

“I’ve never worked for WWE, but I’ve heard stories. The difference with IMPACT is, you usually know what you’re going to do and you can pitch to them on how to make it different or better. Sometimes they go with it, sometimes they don’t. In WWE, it doesn’t matter what you think or say, they go with (what they want).

(On the length of his new contract) “Two years. They do (try to get me to sign longer-term), but I always keep it at two years.”

At Slammiversary on July 17, Moose will go one-on-one with Chris Sabin. Kenny Omega will defend the IMPACT World Championship against Sami Callihan in the main event of the show.
