Backstage News on Sanada’s TNA Departure

As noted, former X-Division Champion Sanada recently parted ways with TNA. Sanada’s contract with TNA was through July of this year, but for whatever reason TNA decided to release him on April 17th, reports The Wrestling Observer.

TNA knew back in early March that they would be parting ways with Sanada, and his departure could mean the end of the TNA and Wrestle-1 relationship.
