John Skyler signs multi-year deal with Impact Wrestling

Chris · Dec 7, 2022

After his initial deal with Impact Wrestling lapsed earlier this year, John Skyler has returned to the promotion with a multi-year deal.

Revealing the news on The Angle Podcast Wednesday, the 35-year-old said he is looking forward to working with many of the talents that he has yet to wrestle.

"That’s the thing that’s really appealing to me. I signed with Impact to break the perception of who John Skyler is. I have been this 15-year journeyman and I wanted to be taken more seriously as a threat, as a viable superstar, and as someone people can see money in.”

The South Carolina native first made his Impact debut in 2016 (then TNA) as part of a Tag Team title Apocalypto match on the Total Nonstop Deletion edition of their weekly TV show.

He would return in July 2021 with a win over Matt Cardona. Through his run that ended in March 2022, Skyler worked mainly in the X-Division and also pursued the Digital Media title.

He made his return at the company's IPWF fantasy comedy promotion at this month's Throwback Throwdown 3, appearing as Biff Knuckles.

Skyler has always remained busy on the indies and also wrestled eleven matches on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation in 2021. He also has wrestled for both WWE and WWE NXT, going as far back as a 2012 SmackDown handicap match loss to Ryback.
