WWE and TNA Wrestling Unite: A Multi-Year Partnership That Will Change the Game Forever!

by

I’m thrilled to share that WWE and TNA Wrestling have sealed a multi-year deal, opening up collaborative platforms for our talented performers. Under this arrangement, you might see us on marquee events such as WWE’s NXT, broadcast on The CW, and TNA iMPACT!, which is available on AXS TV and TNA+. This collaboration extends to WWE Premium Live Events and TNA pay-per-views as well. Here’s to some exciting wrestling action ahead!

The partnership is designed to offer athletes a chance to reach wider spectators and receive top-tier training, all the while enabling fans to enjoy thrilling crossovers and competitive encounters.

Talent Crossovers Already Making Waves

This partnership solidifies a connection that has previously produced memorable highlights. In 2024, TNA’s standouts such as Jordynne Grace and Joe Hendry made appearances on NXT, resulting in high-profile contests. Hendry faced off against Ethan Page for the NXT Championship at No Mercy, while Grace took on Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground.

TNA’s shows have gained a new lease of life due to the influx of energetic talent from NXT. For instance, Wes Lee teamed up with The Rascalz temporarily, while performers like Charlie Dempsey, Dante Chen, Gallus, and others made their way into TNA.

Statements from Leadership

Ariel Shnerer, TNA Wrestling’s Senior Vice President of Content & Distribution, underscored the advantages of working together.

This longstanding alliance shows that teamwork and rivalry don’t always have to clash. By combining forces, TNA Wrestling and its stellar athletes have expanded their reach to a larger audience, while WWE and NXT performers have gained invaluable experience by stepping into the ring with some of today’s top wrestling talents. The reaction to our partnership over the past year has been overwhelmingly positive, bringing benefits to both companies, but most importantly, giving fans unparalleled entertainment from this talent exchange.

Shawn Michaels, WWE’s Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative, added:

We eagerly anticipate expanding and refining our alliance with TNA Wrestling and its exceptional roster of athletes, aiming to generate fresh possibilities that enhance the growth of our performers and boost the quality of viewers’ home entertainment.
