Strong Ties Between WWE and TNA Wrestling
Back on Jan. 16, WWE and TNA Wrestling announced a multi-year partnership. The announcement was made after the two companies had already worked together, with Jordynne Grace, who was the TNA Knockouts World Champion at the time, appearing in the 2024 women's Royal Rumble match.
Both companies have benefited since their agreement was first announced. When WWE needed a new opponent for Randy Orton at "WrestleMania 41," the promotion called upon Joe Hendry, who was the reigning TNA World Champion. As for TNA Wrestling, the promotion has seen a significant spike in viewership and attendance numbers. The company has even credited WWE for assisting in reaching a new broadcast deal thanks to the increase in business.
More recently, TNA has been running an angle that saw invading "NXT" stars cost Mike Santana the TNA World Championship at "Turning Point." Santana is set to meet "NXT" star Charlie Dempsey in a singles match at "TNA Final Resolution 2025" on Dec. 5.
