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.
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.
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.
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.

The TNA power struggle just got a whole lot more personal — and a little more WWE-flavored.
On this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT!, former TNA star and current WWE NXT figure Robert Stone made a surprise return, confronting Director of Authority Santino Marella and delivering a blunt message: he’s watching him — and he might just be coming for his job.
Stone, who many fans still remember as Robbie E from his TNA days, didn’t show up alone. He brought with him a sense of corporate legitimacy, declaring that Santino is officially under review by the TNA Board of Directors and naming himself the one tasked with monitoring Marella’s performance. In case Stone isn’t around to oversee things personally, he introduced a new name into the fold — Victoria Crawford, better known to WWE fans as Alicia Fox — as his appointed Deputy Director.
And she’s not just here for admin duties.
Crawford has been thrust straight into the spotlight with a major title opportunity, as it was announced she will challenge Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship at Under Siege. The challenge comes on the heels of Crawford’s unexpected involvement at TNA Unbreakable 2025, where she interfered in a mixed tag match pitting Slamovich and Joe Hendry against Frankie Kazarian and Tessa Blanchard. That encounter has sparked what looks to be an intense feud between Crawford and Slamovich, now set to explode in a title match.
Tension around Santino’s authority continued to rise throughout the night. Tessa Blanchard — herself no stranger to shaking things up — confronted Santino backstage and threw her support behind Robert Stone’s ambitions, hinting that change might be exactly what TNA leadership needs.
Between internal power plays and a returning Crawford eyeing Knockouts gold, the dynamic within TNA’s leadership and women’s division is shifting fast. With Under Siege on the horizon and Stone’s influence growing, one thing is certain: Santino Marella’s days as Director of Authority may be numbered.
TNA Impact live tonight on AXS TV at the special start time of 10pm ET from the Bren Events Center in Irvine, CA.
