10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 26)
8. Low Ki Leaves TNA
Amidst all the rumours about the promotion's cost-cutting measures, Low Ki had decided to exercise his right to walk away from TNA. This is the third time in total that the wrestler has departed the organisation, but he's not alone on this occasion - both Gunner and Samuel Shaw were released from contract, apparently due to the writers having nothing for them, making the money they were taking out of the company unnecessary. For Ki, who had been a featured member on television as part of the Beat Down Clan - alongside the likes of MVP and Kenny King - it seems it was his own decision. Who knows where the man will go next, but either Ring Of Honor or New Japan Pro Wrestling seem like likely destinations. On the flip side, maybe there's a place for Low Ki in NXT? Sure, it seems unlikely that he'd be a hit on the main WWE roster in 2015, but who knows. Previously competing in the promotion as Kaval, the technical wonder became disenchanted with life in the WWE system, but he could be convinced by the likes of Samoa Joe that NXT represents the ideal place for him to showcase his ample talents.
