The 6/17 edition of IMPACT Wrestling on AXS was built around Anthem sending a representative to resolve what occurred at the Against All Odds show where Don Callis “fired” Sami Callihan from IMPACT. At the conclusion of tonight’s program, it was revealed that Tommy Dreamer is that representative and Dreamer passed along the news that Callis has been “fired” from his executive role in IMPACT.
Since the Fall of 2020, Callis has been regularly appearing on AEW programming alongside AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Callis is also managing AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks.
In May, it was confirmed by both Fightful Select and PWInsider that Don Callis was no longer in his Vice President role with IMPACT.
