You can check out their tweets denying the rumors that their contracts are expiring and they are leaving TNA after Slammiversary below.

ORIGINAL: Both Teryn Tarrell and Awesome Kong’s TNA contracts have expired as of this weekend. Slammiversary is expected to be the last show for both Knockouts unless they come to terms at the very last minute.
The departures follow in the footsteps of Austin Aries, James Storm and Magnus, all of whom have departed over the last week.
