TNA Calls Out WWE For Copying Storyline….. Sort Of

If you follow the wrestling industry like we do here at DTRT Wrestling News then it is no secret that the WWE has been in a tough spot for many weeks. Not only is their top star (John Cena) out of action do to an emergency operation on his elbow which forced creative writers and ultimately Vince McMahon to come up with a last minute substitute in Ryback for the Hell In a Cell pay-per-view, you also have poor ratings coming in for the 11th straight week with viewers tuning out during the third hour.

To add to what seams to be a growing list of issues within the company it looks like the WWE got caught using a TNA Wrestling storyline outline as the basis for the AJ / Cena “Scandal”. If you have followed TNA for the last few months you know that one of TNA Wrestling’s most notable talent’s A.J. Styles was involved with a similar storyline with a character by the name of Claire Lynch, which was eventually cut short due to the actress playing the role receiving heavy backlash.

The storyline which dealt with the idea that AJ Styles had an affair with a woman and got her pregnant has many similarities to the current WWE storyline involving AJ Lee and John Cena.

– Evidence for the affairs photos and videos of both getting into an elevator

– Both are based in accusations by others in the company

It remains to be seen if the current WWE storyline will continue into the near future especially now that TNA star AJ Styles appeared to acknowledged the similarities during a promo segment with Bobby Roode on this week’s Impact Wrestling broadcast on SPIKE TV.

During the segment AJ Styles said while Roode was champion, AJ had to deal with issues of his own, like being taped getting into an elevator with a member of the opposite sex, which is apparently the fad if your name is AJ.

If you saw WWE Raw this week you know that Vickie Guerrero showed her “evidence” of AJ Lee and John Cena’s alleged affair the main piece of which was video of the two getting into an elevator. While it’s humorous this slight jab at the WWE could not have come at a more worst time for the WWE.

As mentioned above the 3-hour Raw format is producing bad ratings with viewership dropping right at the top of the hour, a less then perfect outcome from Hell In a Cell and apparent issues and shake-ups within the WWE creative department.

AJ Styles is considered one of the original TNA wrestlers he has even stated that as far as he knew he was the first one signed in 2002.
