Dirty Dango has found a new wrestling home for the time being.
PWInsider reported Tuesday that the former Fandango in WWE has signed with Impact Wrestling. No terms were disclosed.
Dango (Johnny Curtis) made his Impact debut at last October's Bound for Glory also working several matches on the subsequent TV taping. He returned at the post-Hard to Kill TV taping in January and again at their recent TV tapings in Orlando.
Dango is a regular on the indie scene as well as in the NWA in the last year. It's unknown if he'll continue to work with the NWA given this new contract.

Twitter was buzzing last Thursday when former Knockouts Champion and Knockouts Tag Team Champion Tasha Steelz posted a cryptic tweet that seemed to indicate she was done with the company following her walking away from tag team partner and ally Savannah Evans on last week's show:
Fightful reported on Tuesday that Steelz actually requested time off from Impact, hence the on-screen angle. She will be off TV for at least the next month as she was not at their recent Orlando TV tapings.
Steelz announced in November that she had signed a multi-year deal to remain with Impact.

Fightful also reported that NJPW wrestlers are "tentatively slated" to appear at next month's No Surrender special in Las Vegas which could mean they will also appear at the company's TV taping the next day.
Impact and NJPW had a strong relationship in 2022 that saw wrestlers like Jay White, Satoshi Kojima, Tomohiro Ishii, Aussie Open and others compete in the promotion.
NJPW's weekly TV show airs on AXS TV following Impact.
NJPW wrestlers are tentatively scheduled for next month's No Surrender.
