Tommy Dreamer, TNA’s Talent Relations Director, shared his thoughts on Trick Williams’ recent win of the TNA World Championship while still being an active WWE NXT wrestler, something that has never happened before. Dreamer is excited that the TNA title is now being showcased more prominently on WWE NXT, which airs on the CW Network. However, he expressed some concerns about the challenges that might come from Williams’ WWE contract combined with his new bold attitude, especially regarding how to manage expectations and responsibilities across two brands. On “Busted Open Radio,” Dreamer questioned how Williams can demand things or control others who don’t work for WWE, despite the collaboration between WWE and TNA, noting the potential for conflicts given wrestling’s complex history. He also mentioned the importance of teamwork and community within TNA and how a champion’s behavior can impact this dynamic. Williams is set to defend his title against Mike Santana from TNA on an upcoming episode of “NXT,” with Dreamer confirming that the championship will remain a significant focus for TNA.
Fan Take: This crossover of talent holding titles in multiple promotions is groundbreaking and speaks to a growing synergy in pro wrestling, blurring traditional boundaries. For WWE fans, it signifies fresh storytelling opportunities and a chance to see unique matchups, potentially elevating the sport’s excitement and reach.
