    I would not be surprised. NOAH I don't think is doing great financially (least not as good as NJ, which is doing dogshit lmao). Marigold..well Rossy is funding it himself, striking a deal makes sense, tho I can't see him giving up everything so he'd probably cut a deal to remain booker and have full control. TNA..well personally I've been saying since they canned Scott that Anthem is probably looking to dump it for money and WWE wanting it is their absolute best scenario.

    Edit: Plus idk if they'd need or want it but they'd get closer access to OVW again too, which is developmental for TNA these days, and it's co-owned by Al Snow and Mickie James is an exec, both of whom are at least WWE-friendly.

      Yeah, it kinda suits all three promotions to just take the big bag of cash, doesn't it?

      WWE has always wanted a solid presence in Japan, and TNA would probably just be fun for them to burn to the ground, because they could already have their pick of anyone on that roster if they wanted.

      Four tiers of developmental sounds like a very WWE thing to do, too. (OVW > TNA > NXT > WWE)
