Allegations Surface Against Former TNA Figure Tommy Dreamer

Former TNA Wrestling executive and creative figure Tommy Dreamer is facing renewed scrutiny after multiple wrestlers and industry figures shared allegations and personal experiences involving him on social media.

The discussion began when wrestling student and referee Perch posted claims on X alleging that Dreamer discouraged their pursuit of a wrestling career. According to Perch, Dreamer told them he would do what he could to prevent them from succeeding in the business, comments that Perch says had a significant impact on their confidence and passion for wrestling.

The allegations quickly drew responses from others within the industry, including former WWE and TNA star Mickie James. While defending Dreamer, James suggested there may be additional context missing from Perch’s account.

In her response, James stated that she has known Dreamer for years and questioned whether the full story had been presented publicly. She also criticized what she viewed as an attempt to damage Dreamer’s reputation through social media, arguing that the situation may be more complex than the allegations initially suggested.

As the conversation continued online, additional claims emerged from other wrestlers.

Independent wrestler Kennedi shared an experience involving a proposed match spot. According to her account, she had requested a Singapore cane spot, but the segment ultimately played out differently, with her alleging that she was instead spanked during the angle.

Wrestler Dani Jordyn also recounted a separate incident involving Dreamer. Jordyn claimed that Dreamer incorporated a crotch-grab spot into a storyline involving her despite it not being necessary to the angle. She further alleged that she was not consulted beforehand about the spot and that she was still relatively new to the wrestling business at the time.

At the time of writing, Dreamer has not publicly responded to the latest allegations. The claims currently remain personal accounts shared on social media and have not been independently verified.

The situation comes shortly after Dreamer’s departure from TNA Wrestling, where he had been involved in creative and backstage roles for several years. As discussion around the allegations continues online, it remains to be seen whether Dreamer or any wrestling promotion will issue further statements regarding the matter.

This is a developing story, and additional information may emerge as more individuals comment publicly on the allegations.

AEW Tag Team FTR Taking Time Away From Wrestling

AEW fans may have noticed that FTR has been absent from the ring for the past month, and it appears that break is going to continue for the foreseeable future.

Dax Harwood recently revealed on Instagram that he and Cash Wheeler have decided to step away from wrestling for a period of time after years of maintaining a demanding schedule. According to Harwood, the decision comes after both men reached a point of physical and mental exhaustion following more than a decade of consistently being on the road.

Harwood also opened up about the injuries he has been dealing with while continuing to perform. He disclosed that he worked through a torn bicep, a hip labral tear, a significant shoulder injury, and multiple hematomas in his lower back while remaining active in the ring.

In his statement, Harwood explained that this marks the first time in 12 years that the longtime tag team has chosen to take a meaningful break to focus on themselves and their families. While he did not provide a timetable for a full-time return, he acknowledged that neither he nor Wheeler are certain what the future holds for the team or how much longer they intend to compete.

Despite announcing a hiatus, FTR is not disappearing entirely. The duo is still advertised for a pair of upcoming independent wrestling appearances later this summer. They are scheduled to face The Good Brothers for Appalachian Mountain Wrestling on August 22 in Corbin, Kentucky, before heading to Wembley Arena on August 29 to challenge The Young Guns for the Undisputed British Tag Team Championship at a Revolution Pro Wrestling event.

Wheeler recently shared similar thoughts regarding where he and Harwood currently stand in their careers. While he believes his mental approach to wrestling remains as strong as ever, he admitted that the physical toll of the profession has become increasingly difficult to ignore.

The veteran tag team wrestler also hinted that FTR may be entering the final chapter of its run. Wheeler suggested that the team’s most recent reign as AEW World Tag Team Champions could end up being their last, though he emphasized that both members remain passionate about helping elevate younger talent and contributing to the wrestling industry.

For now, FTR appears focused on recovery and spending time away from the grind of weekly competition. Given the lengthy list of injuries Harwood revealed and the comments from both men about their future, the break may prove to be an important one as they evaluate what comes next in their careers.

Report: TNA Wrestling Moving Toward Developmental Partnership With OVW

TNA Wrestling may soon have an official developmental system in place.

According to PWInsider, TNA and Ohio Valley Wrestling are currently working on an agreement that would see the Louisville-based promotion serve as a developmental territory for TNA talent. The report adds that a deal is expected to be finalized in the near future.

If completed, the partnership would provide TNA with a dedicated platform for developing prospects, evaluating emerging talent, and preparing wrestlers for larger roles within the company.

PWInsider also reports that TNA President Carlos Silva has attended multiple OVW events in recent months, further fueling speculation that discussions between the two organizations have been ongoing behind the scenes. Silva was reportedly expected to attend OVW’s recent celebration of its 1,400th television episode, though he ultimately did not appear at the event.

The potential partnership comes during a period of major transition for TNA. Over the past week alone, the company has undergone significant roster and executive changes.

Tessa Blanchard was released from the promotion earlier this week, while longtime TNA figures Tommy Dreamer and Sami Callihan also departed the company on Wednesday. In addition, TNA recently announced a workforce reduction, describing the move as part of an effort to streamline operations while increasing strategic focus and profitability.

Despite the recent changes, a developmental relationship with OVW could represent an important investment in TNA’s future.

OVW has a long history of developing wrestling talent and is one of the most recognizable developmental brands in the industry. The promotion previously served as WWE’s developmental territory during the early 2000s and helped launch the careers of numerous future stars.

A formal partnership would give TNA access to an established training and developmental infrastructure while creating a clearer pathway for unsigned prospects and younger talent to progress through the system.

The news is also notable given TNA’s ongoing multi-year partnership with WWE, which began in January 2025. While there is currently no indication that WWE would be directly involved in any OVW arrangement, the relationship between WWE and TNA continues to be one of the more significant collaborations in professional wrestling.

As of now, neither TNA nor OVW has officially announced the agreement, but all indications point to a deal being completed in the near future. If finalized, it could mark a major step in TNA’s efforts to strengthen its talent pipeline during a period of significant organizational change.

Sami Callihan Fired From TNA Wrestling Following Behind-the-Scenes Shakeup

Sami Callihan’s time with TNA Wrestling has officially come to an end.

Callihan revealed on Wednesday that he has been released by the company, bringing an end to a tenure that saw him contribute both on-screen and behind the scenes in a variety of roles.

According to Callihan, he was expecting a phone call regarding a possible promotion within TNA’s creative structure. Instead, he received news that the company was moving in a different direction and that his employment was being terminated.

The departure comes during a period of significant change within TNA, which has recently seen several roster exits and major shifts behind the scenes, including Tommy Dreamer’s departure from the creative team.

Fightful Select reports that Callihan was highly regarded throughout the organization. Sources within both the talent roster and company staff reportedly viewed him as a respected figure, and several wrestlers had been advocating for months to see him become more involved with the creative process.

Beyond his work as a performer, Callihan had taken on a number of important backstage responsibilities. He served as both an agent and producer and was considered a popular presence within the locker room.

His influence also extended into TNA’s business operations. Following his retirement from active in-ring competition, Callihan became heavily involved in the company’s marketing efforts. He reportedly played a major role in revitalizing TNA’s merchandise department and was responsible for designing and producing much of the company’s merchandise over the last year.

The combination of creative, production, and marketing duties made Callihan one of the promotion’s more versatile behind-the-scenes contributors.

While his TNA chapter has come to a close, Callihan is not expected to be away from wrestling for long. He remains the driving force behind Pro Wrestling Revolver, the independent promotion he founded, and will continue overseeing and producing events for the company.

Given the positive reputation he reportedly held backstage, it will be interesting to see whether another major promotion looks to utilize Callihan’s experience in a creative or production role in the future.

For now, TNA continues to undergo significant organizational changes, with Callihan becoming the latest notable name to exit the company during a busy and transformative period.

D’Lo Brown Weighs In On The Possibility Of The Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions Purchasing WWE

Could The Rock one day own WWE? According to former WWE star D’Lo Brown, it’s not as far-fetched as some fans might think.

Speaking on The Coach & Bro Show with Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo, Brown discussed a scenario in which Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his Seven Bucks Productions company could eventually acquire WWE from TKO Group Holdings.

The conversation began when Coachman floated the idea of The Rock taking control of WWE and potentially installing longtime collaborator Brian Gewirtz in a leading creative role. Brown responded by saying he could envision such a move happening down the line.

“I could see Seven Bucks trying to buy WWE and Rock owning it all,” Brown said.

Brown also addressed the longstanding speculation surrounding the relationship between Johnson and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. According to Brown, there has always been a competitive dynamic between the two dating back to their days as top stars during WWE’s Attitude Era.

“Paul and Dwayne don’t like each other, and they are definitely oil and water,” Brown claimed, while noting there are both on-screen and backstage elements to their relationship.

The Rock and Triple H famously feuded throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, helping define one of WWE’s most successful periods. Over the years, reports and rumors have occasionally surfaced regarding tension between the two behind the scenes, though neither man has publicly suggested that any personal issues currently affect WWE operations.

Coachman went a step further during the discussion, referencing his previous prediction that Triple H could eventually be removed from his creative leadership position. That prediction was largely based on the belief that Johnson’s influence within WWE could continue to grow.

However, recent reports suggest TKO remains firmly behind Triple H. Earlier this year, it was reported that Levesque signed a new multi-year agreement with the company, reinforcing his role as the executive overseeing WWE’s creative direction.

As for The Rock, his influence within WWE has undeniably increased since joining TKO’s board of directors. In addition to his executive role, Johnson has remained involved on-screen through his “Final Boss” character, making several high-profile appearances over the past few years.

Despite the speculation, there is currently no indication that WWE is for sale or that Seven Bucks Productions is pursuing an acquisition. For now, the idea remains just that—a hypothetical scenario discussed by former WWE personalities.

Still, given The Rock’s business success, his growing influence within WWE, and his position on TKO’s board, comments like Brown’s are certain to spark debate among wrestling fans about what the company’s future ownership structure could look like years down the road.
