Less than two months after it was announced that he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position with the company to focus on personal matters, Jeff Jarrett is officially gone from Impact Wrestling.

Impact revealed the news in a statement that was posted on Twitter: "Impact Wrestling announced today that it has terminated its business relationship with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Entertainment Inc., effective immediately."

The statement also confirms that the company's rebrand into Global Force Wrestling is officially over, which was apparent when Impact started to shift their branding to remove references to GFW in September. Impact had announced an agreement to acquire GFW this summer, but the deal was never completed.

After returning to the company at the beginning of the year as the Anthem era began, Jarrett had been responsible for Impact's creative direction until his leave of absence was announced. Scott D'Amore, Sonjay Dutt, and John Gaburick have been in charge of creative since then.

Impact will be in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for their next set of tapings in November. This year's Bound for Glory pay-per-view will take place at the Aberdeen Pavilion on November 5th before the venue also hosts Impact television tapings the next five nights.

just yesterday i was reading that Jarrett was taken off a show because he arrived drunk, so i'm not surprised they hasted this process. Not sure what is going on with him, his drinking is getting worse as of late.

Wasn't there also an issue with either him and/or Karen being in no condition to perform at a AAA show earlier this year?

yeah, he was drunk at Triplemania and almost got in a fight when the whole Sexy Star/Rosemary thing happened.

it sucks for Impact, you can't even blame this one on them that much, they just can't catch a break. In hindsight it ended up being a terrible move since it was what drove Galloway, Hardys, and others out, they re-branded, and now they gotta go back on all that. IDK if i had missed them, but I hadn't heard of any Jarrett personal problems UNTIL he joined Anthem.
