WWE is currently in a great partnership with TNA Wrestling. The company brought TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace to WWE television a few times this year. Grace even competed for the NXT Women’s Championship against Roxanne Perez this past Sunday at NXT Battleground.
AEW also had a partnership with TNA Wrestling during the pandemic era. In an interview with TV Insider, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about the WWE and TNA relationship. Khan stated that he has been wanting to work with great wrestling companies around the world since the launch of AEW. Khan mentioned NJPW and how great the partnership is.
“Since we launched AEW we’ve been looking to work with great wrestling companies across the planet. The relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling developed in 2021 and built to the point where we teamed to do a co-branded event like Forbidden Door. We’re approaching the third one. It’s a whole new level of great cooperation between wrestling promotions to see the stars of CMLL and Stardom in addition to the great wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling competing with AEW stars.”
Tony Khan stated that cooperation in pro wrestling is greater than ever before. Khan added that it’s a good thing.
“I’m always open to working with great wrestling promotions all over the world. It feels like the spirit of cooperation in worldwide pro wrestling is greater than it has ever been, which is a big positive. Seeing the top stars of AEW go to Tokyo and compete at Wrestle Kingdom, I think that the fans can always count on AEW and New Japan to put on great collaborations. I think this year’s Forbidden Door will be one of the strongest shows any promotion will put anywhere in the world.”
