The three-time world champion was previously linked with joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and was expected to debut for the company during the AEW Dynamite event on September 29, which took place in Rochester, which is the hometown of Wyatt’s friend late Broadie Lee. However, he didn’t make an appearance during the event, and as per reports, he is now expected to join the IMPACT wrestling.

As reported by Give Me Sport, Bryan Alvarez, on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live, said that he thinks Wyatt is going to ink a deal with IMPACT Wrestling, instead of joining AEW. He added that the wrestler hasn’t yet signed with IMPACT Wrestling, which still keeps his way open to join AEW, however as per the expectations right now, he will most probably sign with IMPACT. Alvares also said the as he mentioned a few weeks ago, that he believes Wyatt won't join AEW. He added that if asked now, the impression he has got is that the 34-year-old former WWE champion will join IMPACT. However, he also added that nothing is confirmed until the signing is done.

Bray Wyatt teased his return to the wrestling ring in September.

Earlier in September, the wrestler took to Twitter and posted a series of tweets, which teased his return to the ring. Replying to a fan’s tweet about missing him in the ring, Wyatt said that everything will be clear soon, and also mentioned in his tweet that revenge is a confession of pain. Following these tweets, fans speculated that he would follow the footsteps of Daniel Bryan, Adam Cole, and CM Punk and join AEW. However that didn’t happen, and now he is being linked with IMPACT Wrestling.

Wyatt was associated with WWE for 12 years, before being released by the company on July 31, 2021. His release left the pro wrestling fans in shock, which also drew widespread criticism on WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. He appeared in WWE with many ring names, such as Alex Rotundo, Duke Rotundo, Husky Harris, and the Fiend.
