Initial reaction to Samoa Joe leaving TNA among the other wrestlers is that they are very down because Joe and the company couldn’t come to terms on a new deal, according to PWInsider.
Joe has always been seen as a leader in the locker room and was well-liked by most everyone. Joe’s departure is leaving a hole in the roster similar to the one left when AJ Styles and TNA parted ways.
To @SamoaJoe – 1 of the very best I've ever had the privilege to wrestle. Many Blessings to you and your future. I will remember the feuds

Not gonna lie: pretty devastated that my big brother won't be there next time I go to work. He'll be more than fine. @SamoaJoe is all pro.
