PWInsider reports that Joe and TNA negotiated and tried to come to terms for a new deal up until the end and things remained friendly between Joe and the company. The situation was described as similar to the one that led to AJ Styles leaving TNA in 2013, where TNA was not going to be able to match what Joe had been making. TNA made a final offer and left things up to Joe.

TNA made it clear to Joe that the door would be open for a future return.

A lessor factor had to do with Joe’s departure is that TNA is looking to invest more in newer talents coming in.
