Later on, wrestling insider website PWInsider confirmed the news, stating that this was not part of a storyline. Samoa Joe and TNA are said to have parted ways “amicably,” with no ill-will between the two parties.

Samoa Joe had a lengthy tenure with TNA, one that lasted almost 10 years. Joe jumped ship from Ring of Honor to TNA in June of 2005. Also, his tenure with TNA was a decorated one. In addition to being a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Joe was a five-time X Division Champion, two-time World Tag Team Champion, and one-time Television Champion.

For now, it is unclear as to what Samoa Joe’s future holds. There is plenty of fan speculation that Joe will make a triumphant return to Ring of Honor. Additionally, with his past ties to Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, there is also speculation that Joe will join New Japan Wrestling.
