One big thing: Former WWE star Eric Young sees a positive shift in WWE’s approach under Triple H’s leadership.
Young, now with TNA Wrestling, believes the recent NXT-TNA crossovers are just the beginning of a new era of inter-promotional cooperation.
The details:
• Young told the Miami Herald, “It’s a great thing for pro wrestling in general. There’s just no reason why companies can’t work together to benefit everybody.”
• He praised Triple H’s influence: “You can see the difference in the product when someone like him is running it.”
• Recent crossovers include TNA stars Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian appearing in NXT, and NXT’s Tatum Paxley challenging for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Why it matters:
This collaboration signals a potential shift in the wrestling industry, moving away from the traditionally siloed approach of major promotions.
• It offers fans fresh matchups and storylines.
• Smaller promotions like TNA gain exposure to WWE’s larger audience.
• WWE benefits from the influx of new talent and creative possibilities.
The big picture:
Young sees these crossovers as “just the tip of the iceberg,” hinting at more extensive collaborations in the future.
• He referenced AJ Styles’ recent appearance in NOAH as another example of WWE’s openness to working with other promotions.
• Young emphasized that wrestling fans are the ultimate beneficiaries of these partnerships.
What’s next:
While no specific plans have been announced, the positive reception to these initial crossovers suggests we may see more inter-promotional events in the near future.
