It’s been announced that WWE has signed veteran Impact Wrestling employee Jeremy Borash to a deal. PWInsider reports that the hire was a Triple H decision and that Borash will be working with WWE NXT and the WWE Performance Center.
At the moment, there's no word yet on when the former Impact announcer will start with WWE but it could be at Thursday's NXT TV tapings from Center Stage in Atlanta. Speculation was rapid on that Borash was hired for the Matt Hardy Storyline as he was a huge part of the original “Broken” storyline in TNA, but it doesn’t seem to be the case at the moment.
Borash did voiceover commentary for Impact this past week and filmed Impact content at the House of Hardcore show in Philadelphia, which appeared to be his final duties for the company. Borash's departure will force Impact to change plans in a major way as there had been steps taken to move Josh Mathews into more of a character role in the storylines as the "spiritual advisor" of Matt Sydal, which started at the recent TV tapings.
Officials planned for Borash and Don Callis to be the new Impact announce team but the departure clearly changes that. No word yet on who might call Impact action with Callis or what Impact will do with any in-ring content that Borash had not already did voiceovers for. Borash's departure is seen as a major loss for Impact as he could always be counted on when the company needed something done.
