On January 16th, 2025, ESPN broke the news that WWE & TNA have entered into an official multi-year partnership. Exactly what the partnership entails is unknown, but fans and even some talent in both companies have been “shooting their shot” and vocalizing matches and other opponents they’d like to wrestle.
WWE Star Bayley is one of those stars from the WWE side who has made her interest in being part of the TNA/WWE partnership know.
The former WWE Women’s Champion spoke with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely at the WWE 2K25’s Hands-On Event. She revealed that she immediately texted Triple H to be a part of the partnership as soon as it was announced.
“We’re in this relationship with TNA. We have all these talented women in NXT. People are coming from all around the world to be a part of this because it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.” Bayley said.
“The crazy thing about the Royal Rumble this year is that we have a good problem. We have too many women. Compared to the first year, when we needed to bring in Legends and NXT talent to fill out the match. Now we’re in a place where we have too many talented women. And it’s just beautiful to see.”
“When they announced the TNA partnership, I texted Hunter immediately and said, ‘Sign me up, dude.’ He was like, ‘Oh, okay, hold your horses.’ You know, they’ve got a system, they’ve got to go through the process. But being in NXT and working with a lot of these newer girls, I’m excited to just keep learning from different people.” added Bayley
H/T Hamish Woodward of WrestleZone.
Bayley is a combined four-time WWE Women’s champion.
Joe Hendry competed in the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble this past Saturday night as the fifteenth entrant.
We’ve recently seen top NXT star Cora Jade in TNA trying to go after Masha Slamovich and the TNA Knockouts World Title.
