Last April, it was announced that longtime IMPACT Wrestling star Eli Drake had been fired from the promotion. There were several reasons for IMPACT deciding to cut ties with Drake, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was Drake refusing to work an intergender match with Tessa Blanchard.
Add that there were reports that Drake had heat with management, Drake’s release doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. Earlier today, Drake took to Twitter to officially announce his departure from IMPACT Wrestling, thanking those who he worked with for four years. He also attached his email for bookings, declaring he is now a free agent:
“After 4 years with IMPACT Wrestling, some ups, some downs, I would like to thank them for the overall great experience. Through those years, I had the fortune of carrying 3 different title belts, having my own talk show (Fact of Life), and was always given the trust to craft my own promos, virtually from day 1. I appreciate the chance that was taken on me and the trust I was given, as well as the friends and experiences I gained along the way. I wish IMPACT Wrestling nothing but continued success and growth going forward.
Today, I am OFFICIALLY a FREE AGENT”
