Keith Lee and Mia Yim were both released by WWE on November 4.
Lee quickly signed with AEW in February once his non-compete period was over while Yim made her way back to IMPACT at Under Siege in May after doing a couple of Independent matches.
Speaking to Alistair McGeorge of Metro, Yim explained why she didn't follow her husband to AEW.
"Ever since we started dating, it was like, 'I never wanted to take his moves,' we never wanted to be a tag team, we wanted to be our own separate brands. Sometimes we’ll do mixed tags or whatever and do things together, but we didn’t wanna be known just for that. We established very early on that we were own brand, we didn’t have to always stay together. I always get asked, 'Why didn’t you go with Keith?' It’s like, because I’m my own person and I wanna do what I wanna do, you know? [laughs] So, as long as we support each other with whatever it is, we don’t always have to be together!" she explained. "Nothing bad to say about AEW but I’m just like, 'Babe, that is your realm, go and kill it over there. That is your home.' He was super supportive of me going back to IMPACT."
Yim is set to compete in the first-ever Queen of the Mountain Match at IMPACT Slammiversary for the IMPACT Knockouts Championship.
