While there were rumours that the former Bray Wyatt would debut for AEW at this past week's episode of AEW Dynamite, there have also been rumblings that the Eater of Worlds may end up in IMPACT Wrestling.

As per Fightful Select, IMPACT has had a member of their roster reach out directly to Wyatt as part of the company's attempts to recruit him. Of course, several talents in IMPACT were in WWE during the same time Bray was with Vince McMahon's sports entertainment behemoth.

Right now, there is no agreed deal between IMPACT and the real-life Windham Rotunda, and Fightful also adds how a deal between the two parties isn't close at this stage. Still, IMPACT are clearly keen to bring the hugely talented star into the fold if at all possible.

In terms of the current status of the three-time World Champion, the 34-year-old's WWE non-compete clause is due to expire on Friday 29 October. Previously, there was speculation that Wyatt and WWE had possibly come to an agreement that would have seen Bray's non-compete period reduced - which was part and parcel of those stories that Wyatt could debut for AEW at their recent Rochester, New York episode of Dynamite.

As for Bray Wyatt himself, he's recently taken to social media to tease how he would "see you all very soon".
