After losing the TNA X-Division Championship at the Slammiversary Pay-Per-View, Moose revealed that he would be stepping away from TNA wrestling temporarily. The former world champion stated that he needs time to recover and figure out his next steps.
In an Instagram post, Moose reflected on his TNA career and shared his decision to take a break from wrestling, emphasizing that his hiatus is only temporary and he plans to make a comeback.
He wrote, “For me, it’s time to take a step back… Get healthy and see what’s next… I’ll be back soon.”
This announcement came right after Moose was defeated by Leon Slater for the X-Division Championship at the recent Slammiversary event. Moose appeared to pay respect to the new champion and symbolically passed on the responsibility.
“I have achieved nearly everything in TNA wrestling. Leon Slater, I have tremendous respect for you, and the X-Division is now in your hands… Show me what you’ve got,” Moose stated.
Fan Take: This moment is significant for TNA fans as it marks a transitional phase in the X-Division, with a rising star taking the spotlight. Moose’s temporary departure opens the door for fresh rivalries and new storylines that could energize the sport and its audience.
