The breaking news at this moment is the shocking partnership that has been announced by WWE and TNA. The two promotions were seen working together multiple times in the past and this deal was predicted by many fans previously, and this historic deal has finally happened.
The first occasion the two promotions worked together was Royal Rumble 2022 where then TNA Knockouts Champion Mickie James made a surprise appearance during the women’s Royal Rumble match. After that, the fans got to see many crossover appearances by wrestlers from both promotions.

Former three times TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace also made multiple appearances in WWE last year and also had a number of matches. After this huge deal, the fans can expect more crossover works by the two promotions. Big WWE stars like Roman Reigns and CM Punk can also surprise the fans by making TNA appearances.
The Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative of WWE Shawn Michaels recently reflected on this historical partnership by saying; “We look forward to growing and evolving our partnership with TNA Wrestling and its outstanding group of athletes by creating new opportunities to further the development of our talent and to elevate the viewer experience at home” said the Heart Break Kid.

Ariel Shnerer, the Senior Vice President of Content & Distribution of TNA also commented on this deal; “This historic relationship demonstrates that collaboration and competition do not have to be mutually exclusive. Our partnership allows the TNA Wrestling brand and its incredible athletes to reach a significantly wider audience, while giving WWE and NXT stars an opportunity to cross the line and gain valuable experience.”

So what can we expect from this iconic deal? One thing that everyone can easily understand is that this deal means a lot of crossover appearances. WWE is already the biggest name in the world of professional wrestling, so they don’t need this deal to increase their viewership, which TNA does. A partnership with WWE can definitely boost up their ratings.
And what advantage will WWE have from this deal? As of now, we can expect WWE let some of their talents work in TNA which will give them more time to work. The promotion will have the benefit of producing more talents and give their talents more space through TNA Wrestling. Moreover, both WWE & TNA will be benefitted from this deal.
