Former TNA Head Of Creative Ariel Schnerer Scrapped Plans Between TNA/WWE, Details On What Happened
TNA and WWE have been official partners since mid-January when they announced a multi-year partnership. Both companies have seen talent from the other promotion appear on their shows, between TNA and NXT. However, a main roster idea was pitched not long ago.
Moments ago, Fightful Select revealed some details about tentative creative plans between WWE and TNA that would’ve seen Joe Hendry feud with WWE star The Miz, but most likely included Hendry losing to Miz to kick off the feud.
According to the report, former TNA Head of Creative Ariel Schnerer put a stop to those plans due to not wanting Hendry to lose, which many fans feel was the right call – even if it would’ve meant Miz appearing on TNA television or a TNA event. The general consensus among TNA fans is they don’t want their World Champion losing – title match or not – on a stage as big as WWE.
Joe Hendry is the current TNA World Champion and took part in the WWE Royal Rumble match as the fifteenth entrant.
Ariel Schnerer was recently released, along with Gail Kim and several others, by new TNA President Carlos Silva in what was described as “organizational restructuring.”
One report suggested that both Ariel & Gail gave Carlos Silva an ultimatum to choose between them, so he fired them both; however, Gail Kim personally rebutted that report.
