Don Callis and Scott D'Amore were on Jericho's podcast talking about this yesterday. They mentioned they are open to working with WOW and NJPW. Don also mentioned he's never stopped working for New Japan also.

So the next few weeks are actually just highlights from their PPVs this past year. But new episodes are still airing on Pursuit/Twitch until they debut after BFG.

Why don't I see Tessa's name on that list of raises? I really hope Impact are doing right by that woman...because, she's literally the only worthwhile draw I've seen for Impact in years. She's definitely the thing that made me tune back in.

The names listed are lower card talent. Tessa I'd imagine is already making good money lol

From what I've read she's the highest paid talent on the roster, male or female, as she should be.
