A number of IMPACT Wrestling stars are currently working under soon-to-expire contracts.

Fightful Select reports that Mia Yim is part of that group. The former Knockouts Champion, who come back to IMPACT in May, had previously told the outlet that she was under a short-term deal upon returning lasting until October. Now, Fightful has learned that 9 October is the official expiration date.

This would mean Yim and IMPACT's agreement expiring two days after the upcoming Bound For Glory 2022 pay-per-view (7 October). On that show, Mia is due to wrestle Mickie James in a "Career Threatening match" stipulating that James must retire from wrestling in the event of a defeat.

Yim had previously wrestled for IMPACT from 2015 until a 2017 departure that ultimately led to her joining WWE.

As well as Yim, Fightful reports that Maria Kanellis, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven are also working on expiring contracts. There is currently no word on the exact dates that their deals run out, however.

Whether or not the parties listed above have entered negotiations over extensions is currently unclear. Neither they nor IMPACT have confirmed that they will be leaving the promotion, either.
