The relationship between TNA Wrestling and the WRESTLE-1 promotion in Japan came to an end a few weeks ago, while many within the company are of the belief that the relationship came to an end at the same time that Seiya Sanada left TNA Wrestling.

The Japanese-based promotion which was founded by Keiji Mutoh (The Great Muta), helped to co-promote the 2014 TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
