Earlier this year, WWE created history when they signed a multi year partnership deal with TNA Wrestling, and they started working together since. The two promotions worked together a number of times before this deal, but after this deal, they started working together regularly.
After the deal was signed, the two promotions started working together, but WWE only treated TNA Wrestling equally to NXT, which is the developmental territory of the promotion. A lot of fans were not happy with this treatment, but since TNA Wrestling is totally okay with it, fans' objections do not really matter.
Former World Champion unhappy with Trick Williams creating history
At the NXT Battleground event last Sunday, former NXT Champion Trick Williams created history when he defeated Joe Hendry to win the TNA World Championship in a WWE ring. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler, who is presently going by the name Nic Nemeth, expressed his disappointment at Trick Williams’ victory while speaking with WhatCulture. He said;
Trick Williams is a former NXT Champion
“I’m absolutely furious and pissed off about it, and that’s not a joke or a game. I feel like Joe Hendry has accomplished so much and he’s brought so many eyes to TNA and he’s kicked so much ass. This isn’t a world of participation medals and awards that says, ‘hey, great job. You lost our world title to a different guy from a company from a different company.’
"So I don’t go, hey, great job, buddy. Thanks for trying really hard and losing our title to a different company. I say, I congratulate him when he brings people in, when he defends that title, he beat me, and I said, ‘damn it, you beat me. You got me.’ And when you lose and you mess up, just like I do to myself, or I get on Ryan’s case, when we make mistakes, we own up to it.
Trick Williams defeated Joe Hendry at NXT Battleground last Sunday
"He lost our world title. I am not okay with that. I feel like we might need to bring back wrestler court or something, or pull him aside with everybody in the locker room. Because if everyone’s gonna pat him on the back for the good things, we need to let him know that he messed up and lost our world title. Trick Williams is a badass. He’s awesome. He’s got a great future, but he is an NXT talent who now is the TNA world champion, and I am pissed off about it.”

This is the first time in history that an active WWE star won a TNA Championship title, and that is also in a WWE ring. Since this is a multi year partnership deal, we can definitely expect TNA stars to also win TNA Championships. What we seriously hope WWE treats TNA Wrestling stars a little better.
