When Angle left WWE in 2006, he signed with TNA, which was where he would end up having a memorable wrestling career. Not only did he win multiple championships, but he would also have spectacular matches with TNA's top wrestlers, including AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, and Jeff Jarrett, among others.
Angle was very vocal about his reasoning for leaving WWE. He mentioned wanting to expand his work horizons in WWE, such as wanting to be a part of Hollywood. TNA was the right fit for him at the time as Dixie Carter pulled in a deal where Angle wouldn't have to work such a rigorous wrestling schedule.
As his TNA career came to an end, it was inevitable to see Angle return to WWE, which was where he began his professional wrestling career.
