Scott D'Amore comments on the WWE-TNA working relationship.
As one of his last acts as TNA President, Scott D'Amore helped forge a working relationship with TNA and WWE as he helped get Jordynne Grace in the 2024 women's Royal Rumble. The working relationship has continued with TNA talents such as Joe Hendry and The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel) wrestling on NXT TV and NXT talents such as Tatum Paxley and Charlie Dempsey wrestling on TNA television.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, D'Amore commented on the relationship.
"I always felt that TNA and WWE should have a working relationship. I’m proud and honored to have been at the forefront of making that happen. I reached out and said, ‘Hey, why aren’t we doing this?’ I want to be clear. Everything that TNA is doing now is them. They are the ones having those conversations. Everything going in now is them. I’m happy that as part of my last few acts in the company, we sold out an amazing venue in Vegas. We set a pay-per-view buy record. If I had to walk out and have the reigns ripped out of my hands and for a little bit my heart ripped out of my chest, I walked out saying I completed the mission. Completed even after I was told I wasn’t going to be there much longer," said D'Amore.
Elsewhere during the interview, D'Amore commented on his TNA departure and how he found out days before TNA Hard To Kill that he would be leaving. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
On August 8, D'Amore announced that he was reopening Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.
