Impact Wrestling announced today that it has terminated its relationship with Shaun Ricker, known as ‘Eli Drake’.

Eli Drake has not formally responded, but did post this on his social media that appears related:

So is Eli Drake AEW bound, ROH bound, WWE bound or elsewhere? Rumor was Drake’s contract was set to expire in May 2019.
