James Storm Leaving Impact Wrestling

As had been rumored, James Storm is done with Impact Wrestling.

Possible spoilers from Impact’s TV tapings ahead.

Storm wrestled against Dan Lambert at Thursday’s Impact tapings, with the stipulation being that Storm would have to leave the company if he lost. He lost, then gave a farewell speech to the crowd. Storm has been with Impact/TNA since its inception in 2002.

His contract expires in January 2018, but Thursday was his last scheduled match at this set of tapings and Impact does not have any other tapings scheduled until after his deal expires.
