The partnership between WWE and TNA Wrestling has officially been announced, marking a major shift in the professional wrestling landscape. This collaboration will allow for cross-promotional events and talent exchanges, creating exciting new possibilities for both brands.
One of the most vocal supporters of this historic move is TNA legend SoCal Val. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, she shared her excitement and relief, emphasizing how long-awaited this partnership has been.
“I will definitely put it into the easiest phrase, ‘It’s about time.’ It’s a very different time now than when I had left TNA and was kind of talking with WWE, and I don’t think it was frowned upon per se but it was certainly something that didn’t seem attainable.”
Trailblazers of the Ring
The role of WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in making this deal happen cannot be overstated. SoCal Val expressed her gratitude to them for making what once seemed impossible a reality.
“And so, I’d like to think it’s maybe the Triple H’s regime or I’m not sure who to thank, my personal Jesus Stephanie McMahon whoever is in charge to make this decision to open it up to TNA who has been providing amazing talent for years during the women’s revolution and things like that. I just love that there’s a synergy there, and everyone’s getting along. We’re working together. Finally! So, thank you, WWE, thank you TNA. It’s about time.”
Fans have already seen glimpses of this collaboration, with Joe Hendry’s shocking appearance at the 2025 Royal Rumble, hinting at the exciting possibilities yet to come.
A Celebratory Time for Triple H
The announcement of the WWE-TNA partnership comes at a celebratory moment for Triple H. The WWE legend has been officially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a solo act, marking yet another milestone in his illustrious career.
Adding to this achievement, the Connecticut State Assembly honored him with an Official Citation, recognizing his contributions to wrestling.
“An honor to receive…Thank you to all in the Connecticut State Assembly for the recognition and the excitement around this year’s #WrestleMania.”
What’s Next?
