Kimber Lee and Brandi Lauren have departed Impact Wrestling, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Lee, a former SHIMMER Champion and CHIKARA Grand Champion, debuted for the promotion in May 2020 and signed a deal in August of that year.  Prior to her Impact run, Lee had been signed with WWE NXT.  Lee has been wrestling since 2011 and closed out the year with a wild match against Masha Slamovitch for Beyond Wrestling:

Brandi Lauren began working regularly for Impact in August 2021 after being released by WWE in May of that year.  Lauren, who debuted in 2016 after being trained by Jay Lethal, had previously made appearances for Impact before her WWE NXT run and was a regular for SHINE Wrestling in Florida.

Each talent closed out their run on the 12/31 edition of Impact Wrestling during a vignette where they, as the Undead Bridesmaids, failed to bring Su Yung enough souls and were apparently incinerated, Emperor Palpatine style, before Yung revealed they were bringing her souls to nourish her unborn child.
