Major Update Regarding Austin Aries' Status With Impact Wrestling Following Controversial BFG Finish

Last night Impact Wrestling ended their biggest PPV of the year, Bound For Glory, by crowning a new Impact Wrestling Champion in Johnny Impact. Johnny captured the title by defeating Austin Aries in a match that was the culmination of a controversial and heated feud. Including Aries taking personal shots at Johnny's wife, Taya Valkyrie, on Twitter.

Almost immediately after being pinned Aries leapt to his feet, stepped out of the ring, yelled a profanity at Don Callis and left while flipping off the crowd. It was a bizarre scene that left many at home, and in the ring, scratching their heads. Was this real? Or part of some outside the box story?

Bryan Alvarez notes in the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live that Aries has, "gone home," and will not be attending the Impact Wrestling TV tapings today, or tomorrow. Since Impact tapes weeks, sometimes months, in advance this means that Aries will not be included on Impact Wrestling TV for as long as the tapings are set to run.

To the best of Alvarez's knowledge Aries has not been fired by Impact Wrestling. This led Alvarez to speculate that while aspects of the feud may have been real, Aries and Johnny are likely working together now. With that said, the press conference brawl that the two engaged in before BFG does appear to have gotten, "a little out of control." Including one of the sponsors being pushed to the ground in the fracas. Apparently, Anthem and the sponsors had issues with how that press conference went down.

Austin Aries Impact Wrestling Contract Allegedly Ended At Bound For Glory

Austin Aries no-sold the finish to his match at Bound For Glory on Sunday night and producer Petey Williams talked about everything surrounding the incident on his podcast.


The newest episode of Petey’s Wrestling Perspective Podcast dropped on Monday. During the show, Williams revealed he was the agent for Aries vs. Impact and called everything in the production truck.


For those who missed it … Aries got up after being pinned, seemingly gave the bird to Don Callis and angrily walked to the back after losing the Impact Championship to John Morrison.

Petey says Austin never expressed unhappiness during the day of the event over being booked to lose and when asked about the ex-champ’s demeanor he described it as “fine … it’s Austin Aries.”

In regards to the finish of the match, Williams added: “Austin Aries’ contract is done. That’s all I’ll say. That match was his last match under contract with Impact.” Petey also claims Aries confirmed his contract status during a backstage conversation after the event where the wrestler explained he wouldn’t be at the next set of TV tapings.

For what it’s worth, Pro Wrestling Sheet spoke with multiple sources in the company following the incident who claim the no-sell moment was legit … not scripted.

Aries returned to Impact in early 2018 following his exit from WWE.

Impact World Champion Vs ROH World Champion Match Agreed To

Reports coming from the Chris Jericho Rock N Rager At Sea are that Johnny Impact and Jay Lethal have agreed to a match. While no date or time has been scheduled, the ROH World Champion and the Impact World Champion have agreed to go one-on-one.

Johnny Impact vs Jay Lethal
“Johnny Impact, the Impact champion and Jay Lethal, the ROH champion, agreed to a title vs. title match,” wrote Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. “We don’t have the date and place confirmed. Impact and ROH talked about this months ago, the idea of a match with neither title at stake.”

Earlier this year, then Impact World Champion Austin Aries, appeared on several ROH shows as part of a program with Kenny King.
