Eric Young has left TNA Wrestling effective immediately, with TNA issuing a statement announcing that the company has come to terms on his release.

Reacting to the news on social media, Young clarified that he was the one who requested to be released and TNA granted his wish. He also said he was never on a handshake deal and had a contract the entire time he was in TNA.

“I will work where I want how I want and for whom I want,” he continued. “My track record, resume, accolades and reputation are proof of that!”

Rumors are that Young is moving to WWE, although in which role remains to be seen. He worked for WWE between 2016 and 2020 and then returned in late 2022 where he never appeared on television and was released again without doing anything during the time he was there. In mid-2023, Young returned to TNA Wrestling.
