A.J. Styles left TNA because he was fed up with how he was being used and the overall instability within the company. That was partly true but the main reason for his exit was money. Styles would have stayed if they offered a pay raise or matched what he was making with them for years. Between John Gaburick coming in to make the big decisions and the Carter family putting less money into the company, TNA requested that Styles take a big pay cut but he chose to hit the free agent market. It was an overall brilliant decision on his part as he's been making great money, building his brand and may be heading to WWE now.
