    “WWE working with anyone… it kind of blows everyone’s minds. I don’t think anyone had that on their bingo card. For them to cultivate this relationship with TNA, there are so many people there, my husband of course, Jordynne Grace, to see them get that opportunity is amazing. If this flourishes and there’s more opportunity for not just Jordynne Grace, but for anyone on the roster, that could be really special. It’s gonna put more eyes on the product," Purrazzo said.

    Yeah, as I put in my edit for my crazy theory about TNA/Anthem and WWE/TKO, it turns out Endeavor Streaming is the platform they use for TNA+ meaning it’s in Endeavor’s interest to have TNA work with WWE in hopes of putting more eyes on TNA+ content.

    I would argue it’s not so much blowing our minds as making us wonder if there’s an ulterior motive happening. I can’t wait for the next TNA PPV/PLE so I can see who from WWE might show up, it seems highly likely something is coming and I am excited about it.

      Same, and 100%. I think a good dozen wrestlers on both sides have insinuated wanting to do things in general/with specific people so they’ll 100% be doing it. I just hope they don’t limit it to NXT. We got Grace doing her thing in NXT, give maybe 1 more if you need to but they shouldn’t dawdle on getting the main rosters involved, even if its for a minor mid-card thing.

          Straight up one of the best choices (and I think she hinted at it too). Reliable as shit, probably trained a chunk of the TNA roster, smaller stage to give her a bigger chance to shine.

    wwe killing tna is pretty much terrible for the industry since it’s just one less place workers can work if they’re not in wwe or aew. :/

      Agreed. We’re not short of other places to work, but TNA has the history and name value to it that smaller places don’t, seeing them go down would suck a lot.
