Andrew Everett granted release from Impact Wrestling

Andrew Everett announced tonight that he has been granted his release from Impact Wrestling.

Everett posted the news tonight on his Twitter account. “Earlier today I was granted my release from IMPACT wrestling,” he posted. “I had great times with the company, and I’m grateful for the opportunities that I received while under contract. At this moment, I feel that I need to test the waters in free agency…allowing myself find a new direction in my craft. It’s exciting to see what awaits me in my career. Thank you for all your support, and again, thank you IMPACT Wrestling for bringing the Skywalker to a larger audience.”

Everett, 26, joined Impact in October of 2015 where he participated in that year’s Bound for Glory as part of the Ultimate X match. He later joined forces with Trevor Lee and was part of the Helms Dynasty with Shane Helms. After being kicked out, he mostly participated in X Division matches.

Most recently, he teamed with DJZ as Z&E to defeat Scott Steiner and Eli Drake for the Impact tag team titles. They eventually lost the titles to the current champions LAX at an Impact taping this past April.
