IMPACT Wrestling have completed the signings of three new wrestlers, reports PWInsider's Mike Johnson.

The biggest name on the list is the former Aiden English. Now competing as Drama King Matt, the 33-year-old featured in a vignette during last weekend's Slammiversary pay-per-view and, like those listed below, debuted at IMPACT's television tapings earlier this week.

English had been a free agent since he was released by WWE in April 2020. The former Rusev Day man has since worked only a handful of independent dates, the most recent of which went down in Iowa earlier this month.

Southern indie wrestling standout and former AEW Dark regular John Skyler has also been scooped up by IMPACT. Skyler last featured for AEW in April, teaming with Ryzin in a losing effort to Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, having worked a total of 14 Dark and Dark: Elevation bouts since debuting in May 2020.

Completing the list is Savannah Evans, who joins IMPACT's growing Knockouts division. The George South-trained wrestler worked AEW Dark tapings in October 2020 and March of this year.
