IMPACT News: IMPACT Wrestling Star About To Become A Free Agent
DJZ will officially be a free agent tomorrow!
With there being loads of big free agents in the world of professional wrestling and a number of promotions looking to lock down talents as the business overall sees increased health, IMPACT Wrestling is on the verge of losing one longtime talent.
According to WrestleZone, DJZ is no longer under contract to IMPACT Wrestling as of midnight tonight, although it’s unclear if re-signing is on the table or not. Should DJZ be finished with IMPACT, it would mark the end of a seven year run with the promotion that began in the Summer of 2011 while he was known as Zema Ion.
Recently, DJZ has been making a number of other appearances, including for Major League Wrestling, and is also currently the AAW Heritage Champion. While at this time it has not been confirmed, there has been some speculation that MLW could be the front-runner for DJZ’s services. Meanwhile, there have also been rumors he could be interested in remaining unsigned for a period of time to see what other options could arise.
Stick with The Chairshot for more information on where DJZ could be headed next as it becomes available.
EA’s Take: I would imagine that staying with IMPACT may not be too likely at this point, but of course, never say never. Speaking of “Never Say Never”, that’s a good segue to talk about where I think a good place for him would be and that’s MLW. I haven’t had a chance to see too much of their product, but recently began watching episodes of Fusion on YouTube. It’s different and probably not for the kind of audience WWE looks to add onto its base, but there’s a lot of potential there. DJZ could benefit from a fresh start with a rising company.

Andrew Yang: WWE Stars Should Be SAG‑AFTRA Members, Echoing Kevin Nash
Andrew Yang weighed in after Kevin Nash suggested on his Kliq This podcast that WWE performers should consider joining SAG‑AFTRA amid reports WWE/TKO has asked some talent to accept pay cuts. Responding to a Cultaholic post, Yang wrote, “Nash is right — WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.”
Yang has repeatedly criticized WWE’s treatment of talent and the company’s classification of wrestlers as independent contractors, pointing to past disputes like the 2020 Twitch policy that briefly saw Zelina Vega leave the company. He also took aim at recent creative decisions, arguing earlier this year that increased celebrity involvement at WrestleMania and corporate priorities have sidelined the core wrestling performers.

Violent J: JCW aiming to expand beyond Juggalos, pursue “new goal”
Violent J told The Bryan and Vinny Show that Juggalo Championship Wrestling is “hungry for a new goal,” with plans to broaden its appeal beyond ICP’s fanbase and compete with other indy promotions. He said JCW is getting serious about being taken seriously in the wrestling world, mixing tongue‑in‑cheek entertainment with legitimate in‑ring variety so the product can attract general wrestling fans, not just Juggalos.
JCW will continue to lean into its over‑the‑top roots while adding diverse wrestling styles to reach a wider audience; Violent J emphasized he wants “a little bit of everything” so every fan sees something they enjoy. Episodes of JCW Lunacy air Thursdays on the Psychopathic Records YouTube channel, and the promotion recently posted the full StrangleMania show from WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas.
