Despite the fact that he just started as the new babyface authority figure, Bully Ray is already gone from TNA.
As previously reported, Ray was not brought to television and is no longer with the promotion, as he only signed a per-show agreement which would have allowed him to leave whenever he decided to.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, more cases like this are expected, as most talent are not under deals where TNA has first priority on their dates, or long-term.
Jeff Jarrett took over as the new head of authority, appointed by Dixie Carter, but it turned out to be a swerve, as GFW turned heel at the next taping and the promotion already began building up a “Winner Take-All” match with the winning team earning the rights to own TNA.
