In 2022, Impact Wrestling is a firm number three promotion in the United States. They’ve generated some buzz recently with Mickie James showing up in the Royal Rumble with the Knockouts Championship, and now they’ve added another great name to their roster. Just a few weeks after signing Mike Bailey, Laredo Kid has signed a contract with Impact Wrestling.
Laredo Kid Has Been Around In Impact Since 2017, Finally Earns A Contract
Fans of Impact Wrestling have seen Laredo Kid many times since he first made his debut back in 2017. Initially, he teamed with now WWE Superstar Angel Garza, before making sparse appearances in 2018 & 2019. Making his return to the company in 2021, Laredo Kid really settled into the promotion, recently facing Blake Christian & Ace Austin in a three way match.
Fans of AEW will also recognize Laredo Kid, as he’s appeared on Dynamite and at Fyter Fest 2019. MLW, GCW & CMLL have also seen Laredo Kid pop up. Both AEW & the indies will remain open to him with his Impact Wrestling contract, so long as dates don’t conflict with Impact Wrestling tapings.
Dreams Of The X-Division Championship Drew Him To Signing With Impact Wrestling
While speaking with Darren Paltrowitz of Paltrocast, Laredo Kid would confirm his goal in the company, saying the following.
“Yes, my goal is to try to fight for the X Division Title because when I started in the wrestling business, I saw all the wrestlers that go for the X Division like A.J. Styles.I think they motivated me to be a good wrestler, you know? Like training hard. When I see all the crazy moves they do, I try to do the same, you know? And training more to be there one day and when I had the opportunity to be able to sign with Impact, it’s great, you know? Right now, it’s a dream to have this opportunity then I’m going to find the X Division belt.”
