WWE & TNA Formalise Working Relationship With Multi-Year Deal

The working relationship between WWE and TNA Wrestling has been made official, with the two companies announcing a multi-year partnership.

The partnership will see talent from WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling appear on each other's shows. This includes WWE NXT on Tuesday nights, TNA IMPACT on Thursday nights, TNA pay-per-views, and WWE premium live events. WWE NXT involvement at Sunday's TNA Genesis pay-per-view has already been teased.

Senior Vice President of Content & Distribution for TNA Wrestling and Anthem Sports & Entertainment Ariel Shnerer said:

"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, as they join forces with one of the most talented rosters in professional wrestling today. The response to our collaboration over the past year has been tremendous and both companies have benefited, but the fans have reaped the greatest rewards from this talent crossover and working relationship."

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

"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."

The working relationship between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling began in May 2024 with then-TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace's surprise appearance on NXT. Grace, along with Joe Hendry, became regulars on WWE NXT, while the likes of Frankie Kazarian, The Rascalz, Masha Slamovich, and Hammerstone have also appeared on NXT.

Several WWE NXT talents have appeared in TNA, including No Quarter Catch Crew, Riley Osbourne, Wendy Choo, Wes Lee, Dante Chen, Gallus, Arianna Grace, Tatum Paxley, Izzi Dame, and Brinley Reece.
