Heath Miller’s Impact Wrestling Deal Expires, Now A Free Agent

Heath Miller is currently a free agent as his Impact Wrestling contract has expired.

Fightful Select is reporting that Heath is now accepting bookings for independent events following the expiration of his Impact Wrestling contract.

Heath signed with Impact Wrestling in July 2020 following his release from WWE in April of that year.

During his 3-year run with the Anthem-owned promotion, Heath won the Impact Tag Team Championships with Rhino.

Heath was sidelined for almost an entire year following an injury he sustained at Bound for Glory 2020, where he “won” an Impact Wrestling contract during the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match.

Impact Wrestling added time to Heath’s contract due to the injury period.

Backstage Update On WWE’s Reported International Expansion For Premium Live Events

WWE recently confirmed a brand new international event for August 2024 with WWE’s Bash In Berlin, which will mark the first-ever premium live event in Germany. However, that might not be the last, as the company has been in negotiations with a lot of different city governments around the world regarding future shows, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The idea is that WWE wants to gain significant money for premium live events going forward, with Paris being one of the cities that have been in discussions. While it is not confirmed that an event will be taking place in France’s capital, there has been speculation that next year’s WWE Backlash event – which is typically the first PLE after WWE WrestleMania – might be happening in Paris. 

WWE already has two overseas shows confirmed for 2024 with Bash In Berlin and WWE’s Elimination Chamber, which will be taking place in Perth, Australia. Meanwhile, it is expected that there will be at least one show taking place in Saudi Arabia as a continuation of the deal WWE has with their government, with the company continuing its worldwide growth.

These negotiations come off the back of several successful international events, with Clash At The Castle, Money In The Bank, and Backlash having all taken place outside of the United States in recent times. Nick Khan has been open in the past about wanting to expand WWE’s reach globally, with countries having recently paid for WWE to host events, with the popularity of them then giving back to the local economy in the form of hotel stays, restaurants, and local bars, making it mutually beneficial.
