WWE NXT’s Cruz Montana (fka Mike Santana) opens up about his decision to leave TNA Wrestling:

“It wasn’t an easy decision because they’ve done so much for my career. Loyalty is a big thing for me. Where we come from, loyalty is everything.

“I felt like I had a responsibility, and honestly during my time there, I felt like myself and the company grew together. One thing we’re always taught is, you do good business and you always leave a place better than when you found it.

“I feel like I’ve done exactly that. Again, TNA was somewhere where I felt comfortable, and I didn’t want to feel comfortable anymore.

“It was hard because I loved that place. Genuine love for TNA, 100%. You’ve heard it countless times, that locker room is a special place. But like you said, I’m very goal-oriented, and I’m trying to grow as much as possible.”
