More On Bully Ray & Devon's Contracts With TNA

PWInsider.com is reporting it seems almost certain that Bully Ray and Devon will be finishing up with TNA in the next few weeks as their contracts expire.

If this is the case, Devon would need to drop the TV title soon so if and when that happens, could be a confirmation of their departures.

Bully Ray has been handling the negotiations for them and isn't happy with how TNA has treated them in the process. Ray would be a significiant loss given his top heel status on television as well as acting as an agent backstage.

There is no word on if WWE is interested or reached out to them.
