Scott DAmores sudden exit from his role as TNA Presidentcaused a major change in the wrestling world. During his time in charge, AEW and TNA formed a partnership and now DAmore has admitted some missed opportunities with the partnership.
From 2020 to 2021, AEW and TNA/IMPACT Wrestling teamed up, allowing wrestlers from both promotions to appear on each others shows. AEW stars like Kenny Omega and Christian Cage made their mark in TNA, with both winning major TNA titles.
In return, TNA wrestlers such as The Good Brothers and Deonna Purrazzo appeared in AEW. Omega and Cage often showcased their TNA belts when they were featured on AEW programming.
While speaking on the Talk Is Jericho podcast, Scott DAmore talked about TNAs partnership with AEW. He explained that the partnership was a strategic move for TNA during a challenging time. The goal was to leverage Omegas popularity and Don Calliss skill in creating compelling storylines to boost TNAs visibility. Omega won the TNA title, and The Good Brothers joined him in TNA.
DAmore admitted the partnership had its share of successes and challenges. While Omega didnt lose the TNA title as planned, having Christian Cage come in and honor TNAs legacy was a significant moment. DAmore believes the partnership was beneficial overall, even though it wasnt without its issues.
Even Tony Khan was called out for putting downTNA during AEWs partnership with the promotion. Nevertheless, TNA Wrestling is currently invested in their partnership with WWE and thats all that matters to the promotion right now
