Despite popular belief to the contrary, Taylor Wilde is still under contract with IMPACT Wrestling and will be returning in the near future.
IMPACT Wrestling‘s Taylor Wilde was a recent guest on the House of Hardcore Podcast to discuss a wide variety of subjects. During the interview, Tommy Dreamer revealed that Wilde is still under contract to IMPACT despite not being on the show for quite some time.
“Lastly, your comeback, which is awesome. And you are still under contract,” Tommy Dreamer revealed. “And you have — I mean, think about it too, you have two people who are right place right time, myself and Scott D’Amore, who do a lot behind the scenes. I mean, Scott is IMPACT Wrestling. Two of the people who believed in you the most are kind of helping this company, and you had to take your own time to settle everything, and now it’s right place, right time, and it’s all about the journey. And for you, it’s also about the comeback.
“It’s funny you also mentioned that show you just saw Scott at because from that show, I talked to him. And he was like, yes, seeing Shantelle; we have to get her back on the field. And I was like, yes, we do. But it’s always like, okay, well, we can’t just rush people in because, you know this, alright, well, we have these people coming in. But it was like, God, she’s so friggin good. Still, and like, but we’re not talking about it like you’re 55 grizzled old Tommy Dreamer, even though I’m 51 but what I’m saying is we can’t wait to get you back on the field. So I hope that happens superduper soon for you because you’re the best version of yourself, and every other day it should be the best version of yourself.”
Taylor Wilde responded by saying she’s excited to get back and revealed that dealing with things like COVID and divorce is what caused her recent absence from the company.
“Thank you, and I’m so excited,” Taylor Wilde said. “Like it’s been a year and it was hard because I had this like big comeback after ten years of being inactive and then COVID and divorce and life and thank God for my IMPACT Wrestling family like truthfully if I didn’t have the history with the business and I didn’t have the relationships I have with you and Scott the probably would have never been a part two. But again, everything happens for a reason. And this disconnect between times is surely really confusing for the fans, but it’s nowhere near confusing for the fans as it has been for a second over here.”
Taylor Wilde’s last match for IMPACT Wrestling took place against Tenille Dashwood at Victory Road 2021. She returned to the ring this past June, and her most recent match was against Jody Threat for Greektown Wrestling in August.
