One big thing: WWE Women’s Champion Bayley expresses interest in TNA crossover
Bayley, the current WWE Women’s Champion, has voiced enthusiasm for potentially competing in TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling), highlighting the growing partnership between WWE and other wrestling promotions.
Why it matters
• This openness from a top WWE star signals a shift in the company’s approach to inter-promotional collaborations.
• It could lead to fresh matchups and storylines, exciting fans and potentially boosting viewership for both promotions.
By the numbers
• Bayley won the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40.
• TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace appeared on NXT TV earlier this year.
• IYO SKY competed at TNA’s Marigold Destiny event in July.
What they’re saying
Bayley told Bodyslam.net:
“Hell yeah! I’d love to get back in the ring with Ashley Ash by Elegance in a TNA setting. That would be awesome. Jordan Grace is another person I’d like to face. She was great at the Rumble and had a fantastic match with Roxanne. Jordan definitely commands attention, so anything she’s involved in gets noticed. If I get the chance to be in the ring with her, it would be incredibly cool and fun. I’ve always wanted to be part of TNA, so I’m open to any opportunity that comes my way.”
The big picture
WWE’s recent collaborations with other promotions, including TNA, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and various independent organizations, represent a significant shift in the company’s historically isolationist approach. This new strategy could reshape the pro wrestling landscape, offering fans unprecedented cross-promotional events and matchups.
What to watch
• Future appearances of TNA stars on WWE programming and vice versa.
• Potential cross-promotional events or special matches featuring talent from both companies.
• Any official announcements regarding expanded partnerships between WWE and TNA.
