Impact Wrestling Grants Daga’s Release Request

Wrestling Inc. has confirmed that Impact Wrestling has granted Daga’s release request.

From what we (Wrestling Inc.) were told, Daga had requested his release some time ago but Impact had held off on granting it while also attempting to get him to re-sign. Impact officially granted Daga his request to be released today.

Daga’s made his debut with the company on the February 1, 2019 episode of Impact Wrestling. His debut match featured him tagging with Santana and Ortiz in a losing effort to The Lucha Bros and Rey Horus. Daga was also featured in a Team Lucha Underground vs Team Impact match at United We Stand that same year. During his run in Lucha Underground he was seen as part of Kobra Moon’s Reptile Tribe.

In March of last year, Daga was a guest on The Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast. When asked if he had also spoken with AEW about signing with them, he replied, “Not really. My way into the States was a little different because when they did Lucha Underground I had a knee injury that took me outside the ring for a long time. I’m working with Impact now a couple of days, but I hope at one point I can be full-time. The only thing I want is to grow in the American market now.”

Britt Baker To AEW Fans: “Please Don’t Turn The Channel When Women Are On TV”

AEW star Britt Baker believes that for AEW’s women’s division to grow, the new wrestling company needs help from the audience watching at home.

While addressing the criticism faced by the female division, Baker said fans need to ensure that women’s segments are not the lowest-rated segments on AEW Dynamite.

“I know there are plans to grow the women’s division, but at the same time we need help from the fans at home too,” Baker told Uproxx in an interview. “We can’t have the women’s segments being the lowest rated or the lowest views [on YouTube] each week. Because at the end of the day it’s a business, and AEW needs ratings.”

Baker acknowledged that since AEW is in a ratings war every Wednesday night with NXT, it needs more fans watching the women’s segments.

“It’s no secret we’re in a war every Wednesday night with NXT, so we need the ratings up. So for the fans that are so encouraging and saying “We want more women, we want more women!” that’s great, but please don’t turn the channel when the women are on TV then! We want everybody to be watching the segments and cheering us on from home,” she said.

Baker also cited COVID-19 as a reason for AEW’s women’s division not reaching greater heights.

“Our women’s division got hit hard because of the COVID outbreak. Half our roster is international talent, so we immediately didn’t have access to any of those women. Then Kris Statlander got hurt, and I got hurt. And there’s only so much time on AEW Dynamite to start with,” added Baker.

Hikaru Shida will defend her AEW Women’s World Title against Big Swole during tonight’s AEW Dynamite anniversary episode.
