In an interview with The Peterborough Examiner, former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode opened up on why he made the decision to mutually part ways with TNA Wrestling.

“It felt like it was the right time. After almost 13 years in a wrestling company, I felt like there was nothing really left for me to do there. I wanted to mutually part ways.

I have nothing negative to say about TNA Wrestling. They treated me very, very well. It was just a matter of me being in a part of my life where I’m not sure TNA was the right fit for me anymore. The brand has been stale for the last little while and the growth wasn’t there as it was in the early years. I’m a free agent so I can do anything I want as far as wrestling goes.”
