Impact Wrestling talents JONAH and Willie Mack recently announced that they have left the company.
JONAH confirmed on Twitter that his contract with the company expired following this past Thursday’s episode of Impact! but he interested in returning to the company in the future.
There's a wild chapter in the book of JONAH that is all about PCO … HE IS NOT HUMAN.

Mack also confirmed on Twitter that his contract with the company also expired this week and he is currently a free agent.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that Impact officials had informed Mack this past March that he was not going to be offered a new full-time contract in the company but they were interested in keeping him under a new potential per-date basis type deal. Mack reportedly turned down Impact’s offer leading to his contract expiring following Impact’s recent set of television tapings in Poughkeepsie, New York.
In regards to JONAH, Johnson reported that his sources stated that Impact officials had found it increasingly hard to fit JONAH into their storylines going forward due to his current commitments with other companies, including New Japan Pro Wrestling. Impact reportedly made the decision that it would be best for both sides to let JONAH leave instead of just having him randomly pop in and out of Impact programming and not be involved in “proper stories.” Johnson also reported that Impact officials had been really thrilled with JONAH’s performance in the company over the last several months.
