Drew Galloway tweeted today that he is leaving TNA.
Thank you @IMPACTWRESTLING for these past two years & everything we achieved together. I'll miss everyone & I'll see you down that long road

Galloway and TNA had been in talks for a new contract, with TNA making him a “nice offer” and a promise to be a top star in the company, according to PWInsider. Instead of trying to “lock down” one of their biggest stars a while ago, TNA apparently did not finalize a new offer for Galloway until two weeks ago and he has ultimately decided to go elsewhere.
Galloway had been with the company since 2015 and is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He previously wrestled in WWE as Drew McIntyre, winning the Intercontinental and Tag Team championships. There is some speculation that he could end up back in WWE/NXT.
Galloway may not be the only top TNA star to be leaving the company soon, since, as previously mentioned, the Hardys’ contracts also expire this week and they could end up back in WWE.
