WWE and TNA Wrestling have announced a new partnership that allows talent to perform for either company over the next few years.
This collaboration means that talent from WWE’s NXT may appear on TNA’s “IMPACT,” and vice versa. Superstar wrestlers may also participate in select WWE premium live events and TNA pay-per-views in the future. This crossover has already taken place at various points in 2024.

“This historic partnership shows that collaboration and competition can coexist,” stated TNA Wrestling and Anthem Sports & Entertainment senior vice president Ariel Shnerer. “Our joint effort enables the TNA Wrestling brand and its incredible athletes to expand their reach to a broader audience, while also providing WWE and NXT stars the chance to gain valuable experience and work alongside one of the most talented rosters in pro wrestling today.
“The response to our partnership has been overwhelmingly positive, benefiting both companies, but most importantly, the fans who have enjoyed the talent crossover and collaboration.”
