Matt Striker tweeted (and later deleted) that he was done with Impact Wrestling earlier this afternoon, writing:

"I am disappointed that my time with #ImpactonAXSTV is done. I REALLY enjoyed that locker room. Thanks for allowing me to tell your story. Thanks, everyone. Stay safe."

PWInsider.com has confirmed that to be the case with Impact sources.

Striker and D'Lo Brown started as the Impact Wrestling commentary team in January 2021. Brown remains on the commentary team we are told.

God I hope so, he'd be way better than Striker even tbh. He's having basically a tryout for NJPW Anerica as well

This is so lame.

Someone else needs to hire Striker asap.

 

[Chris]

Oh he also deleted that tweet I see who got pissed at who in this situation I wonder

Well that sucks. Going back to Josh Mathews would be a downgrade.

Ian Riccaboni has said in an interview (can't remember if it was Fightful, CVV or whoever) that he is waiting out ROH's hiatus to see what happens with that. Plus isn't he doing stuff for NJPW Strong now?

I mean I don’t watch impact anymore but I pity anyone that does if they put Josh back on commentary

This is the worst news I heard today

I wonder what Tom Phillips is up to these days.

Yeah I'm in the minority liking Josh but I liked Striker just as much sucks to see him go. Josh worked so much better with Don now he'll need to jell with D-Lo Brown Week to Week on a consistent basis.

 

[Hoss]

RIP the announce team being worth a fuck

 

[Leon TrotSky]

The wording and circumstances of the tweet seem to suggest that bad shit has happened

Bad enough that they decided Impact would be better off with Josh on commentary
