Chris Bey Signs Impact Contract Extension
Sports Illustrated held a recent interview with Chris Bey and Impact Wrestling EVP Scott D’Amore. One of the topics discussed included Bey revealing that he recently signed a new multi-year contract extension with Impact to remain in the company for the foreseeable future.
Bey – “It takes time to become a top guy. That’s what I’m pursuing now. I want programs with Josh Alexander, Eddie Edwards, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey. I want to work with IMPACT legends. I am pushing to be the absolute best. The IMPACT World Championship has always been the biggest goal for me. That is my No. 1. It’s something I have to accomplish, and I’m going to make sure it becomes a reality. Until I do, to quote Kobe, ‘The job’s not finished.’”
D’Amore – “Chris Bey was part of a generation who grew up dreaming of competing inside an IMPACT Wrestling ring. Two years ago, when the wrestling world was buzzing about where this ‘can’t-miss prospect’ was going to commit, Chris chose to fulfill his childhood dream and make IMPACT Wrestling his home, even with multiple offers in front of him.
Now, two years later, with an amazing X Division title reign already under his belt, Bey has cemented his claim as one of the stars to lead our sport into a bright future. We are honored and excited to announce that Chris has again chosen IMPACT Wrestling to remain his home for years to come.”

” So, I am still contracted with IMPACT Wrestling. I signed a three-year deal so I still have another year to go. So, the potential to come back is always there. It was just with the storyline I was in with Su Yung, things kind of came to a close. I’ve been in talks with Gail [Kim] about where to go next and so, it’s coming. It’s not set in stone when.”
