Rumours of Sami Callihan Going to WWE

Sami Callihan has confirmed that his Impact Wrestling contract expires at the end of this month. There’s rumours on social media that he could return to WWE. If you don’t recall, which I don’t blame you for not, he was in WWE from 2013-2015 as Solomon Crowe. Before signing with WWE, Callihan was an indie-stalwart. After being released by WWE, he went back to the independent scene before landing in both Lucha Underground and more notably, Impact Wrestling.

Callihan would become World Champion in Impact. He’d also have acclaimed feuds with Pentagon Jr and oddly enough, Tessa Blanchard. While in Impact, Callihan would also rejoin the Christ Brothers in Ohio Versus Everything. He had much more success in both Lucha Underground and Impact than in WWE NXT.

Now the rumour is that WWE could be interested in bringing back him back. He would be a good replacement for Joe Gacy when he goes to the main roster as a cryptic character. I would be very surprised if WWE brings him back though. Callihan has never been able to kick it into that final gear in my opinion. WWE needs wrestlers that have that ability. He’s very talented mind you but I think he’s better as a medium sized fish in a smaller pond. He’s always been in the same category as Eddie Edwards to me.

I also don’t think AEW would be a good fit for Callihan either. He’d get lost in the shuffle too fast. Staying in Impact or going to Billy Corgan’s NWA would be good options for him. I can see why Sami would want to get out of Impact. If he wants to bet on himself, it would be wise to try and spread his wings elsewhere.

Give me your thoughts on Sami Callihan leaving Impact. Do you think he’ll return to WWE and get an actual run this time? Comment down below or hit me up on Twitter.
