WWE and TNA War on Thursday announced a joint multi-year partnership that would open up the talent pool to any company.
Talent from WWE NXT status can appear on TNA's “IMPACT” and vice versa. Superstar wrestlers may also appear on special WWE premium events and TNA pay-per-views in the future. This event had already happened at several points in 2024.

“This historic relationship shows that partnership and rivalry don't have to be mutually exclusive,” TNA Wrestling and Anthem Sports & Entertainment senior vice president Ariel Schnerer said in a press release. “Our partnership allows the TNA Wrestling brand and its incredible athletes to reach a wider audience, while giving WWE and NXT stars the opportunity to cross the line and gain valuable experience, while join one of the most talented teams in wrestling today.
“The response to our partnership last year has been tremendous and both companies have benefited, but the fans have reaped the greatest rewards of this talent and performance relationship.”
