On TNA/WWE deal:

It’s crazy how many people still buy into the “working with WWE bad” narrative. This isn’t Vince with his trust issues and desire to destroy everyone so WWE is the only option. WWE wants to expand and play in the legitimate media landscape.

Even if you look at things cynically, it makes PR and legal sense for WWE to arrange these sorts of partnerships. It allows them to hide behind their independent contractor thing and peddle in goodwill. They can better control the entire wrestling industry with things like promotional partnerships and the ID program. It’s like expanding their developmental on someone else’s dime too.

The biggest iceberg in this thing is if a promotion decides to go rogue and Akira Maeda or do an ECW on the situation. It probably wouldn’t be received well. Look at what PCO tried to do with GCW lol.

WWE and TNA probably don’t just have a multi-year agreement, but a multi-year plan. I don’t know if it happens in 2025 or 2026, but TNA may overtake AEW as #2 through this.
