Another pillar of TNA Wrestling’s modern era is moving on. Former TNA World Tag Team Champion and three-time X-Division Champion Ace Austin has officially parted ways with the company, as confirmed by PWInsider and later acknowledged by former TNA President Scott D’Amore.
Austin’s contract reportedly expired recently, and although both sides engaged in talks to hash out a new deal, they ultimately couldn’t come to terms. D’Amore addressed Austin’s exit in his latest column, framing the split as respectful and forward-looking. According to D’Amore, Austin is “ready to step to the next level” and it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a breakout star on a bigger stage.
TNA Finale
Austin’s final match for the promotion aired last week, where he faced off against current X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali. While the match itself was taped weeks prior, it now serves as the official conclusion to Austin’s six-year journey with TNA—a run that saw him evolve from an electric up-and-comer to a core figure in the company’s tag and singles divisions.
After re-upping with TNA just last March, Austin remained a focal point of weekly programming, especially alongside Chris Bey. Together, the duo formed a standout tag team, winning the TNA World Tag Team Titles three times and even representing TNA internationally.
However, Bey’s recent injury forced Austin back into singles action, where he tried his luck chasing the X-Division Championship and the newly minted International Title. Despite solid showings, championship gold eluded him during this stretch.
A Growing Trend in TNA
Austin’s departure is the latest in a growing list of talent exits from TNA in 2024. Jordynne Grace and Josh Alexander both left earlier this year when their contracts lapsed, and Rich Swann also quietly became a free agent after his deal expired.
With multiple prominent names stepping away, questions naturally arise about TNA’s ability to retain and build around its top-tier talent. That said, the promotion has long been known for cultivating fresh faces and rebuilding from within—something it may be forced to lean into once again.
What’s Next for Ace Austin?
As for Austin, the future appears wide open. At just 27 years old, he’s already built a strong resume with highlight-reel matches, a compelling character, and success in both singles and tag team competition. Whether he heads to WWE, AEW, NJPW, or explores international options, it’s clear he won’t be on the market for long.
