Don Callis returned to the wrestling business in 2017 when New Japan needed someone for their English commentary table, and Kenny Omega would suggest Callis. The former WWE, ECW, and TNA talent would be instrumental in getting Chris Jericho to wrestle for New Japan and dramatically changing the landscape of professional wrestling in the process.
Jericho would recommend Callis for a behind-the-scenes management role in Impact Wrestling. This would lead to both Callis and Scott D’Amore becoming the promotions co-executive vice presidents in December 2017. Since December 2020, Callis has been juggling multiple responsibilities due to also appearing for AEW, where he is aligned with Kenny Omega, and a few days ago, it was noticed that he had been removed from Impact Wrestling’s website.
Multiple reliable sources have now reported that Callis is officially no longer part of Impact Wrestling’s management team and was only at the recent set of television tapings for the first day working alongside Omega. It’s said he is still on good terms with the company and will remain an on-air talent aligned with Omega for the foreseeable future.
It is now thought Callis will be signing for AEW shortly, where he is highly regarded. Among his biggest fans is his longtime friend Chris Jericho, who stated last year that Callis would be one of the people he’d most like AEW to recruit.
