Today's News

TNA lose top star:


Drew Galloway has decided to leave TNA after growing impatient at stalled contract talks. TNA had promised to make a contract offer to him to consider but as his current deal entered it's final two weeks, with no offer being made, he decided to step away from the promotion.


Raw tease:



  • Seth Rollins addresses his injury
  • Goldberg returns before WWE Fastlane
  • Is Roman Reigns fighting a losing battle against Braun Strowman?
  • Enzo Amore & Big Cass close in on "Big Gal" and "Andy"
  • What scheme does Charlotte Flair have in store for Bayley?

Ric Flair is backstage.


Alum splits:


Kaitlyn is having an acrimonious split from her husband. They are splitting after just shy of three years. This is having a negative impact on her business life, as her former husband has closed down the website their joint businesses share, meaning she can't trade, other than via a temporary address she has set up. She says they will also split their two companies in due time.


Match on?:


Triple H will work some live events before Mania, possibly meaning his match vs Seth Rollins is on.


Alum's coming home?:


The Hardy Boyz will be free of TNA on Wednesday and speculation is rising that they will be returning to WWE. The brothers have told bookers on the indie scene they will not be taking dates from May of this year.

TNA are not giving up though, talks are still ongoing, but it is rumoured that the extreme brothers are not overly happy with the new power structure backstage, as Jeff Jarrett and his team would be much more hands on creatively, and Matt may lose some of his freedoms. Matt had openly backed Billy Corgan as his preferred new owner last summer, but that did not come to pass. However they are also victims to late contract offers. They had agreed to enter talks for new deals in December, but only received them this week. They were also reportedly upset with a new clause that their bookings would have to be made via the TNA office, and 10% of all their earnings on the indies would go to TNA.

A deciding factor could be the loss of creative freedom he has enjoyed in recent years, and the end of his broken gimmick, which has won widespread acclaim, as WWE would be unlikely to continue with it.
