The “It Factor” is coming to Las Vegas for Global Force Wrestling TV tapings.
GFW announced Wednesday night that TNA Star Bobby Roode will be in action at the July 24 GFW TV tapings in Las Vegas. Roode is still under contract to TNA, so this seems to be evidence that TNA and GFW will be working together.
Below is a video of Roode talking about competing at the upcoming GFW TV tapings.
F4Wonline.com reports that some of the TNA talents being released are actually being “transferred” as part of a TNA – GFW invasion angle. It’s expected that any TNA talent who is now in Global Force Wrestling, James Storm in particular, will be back on TNA TV in the near future.

Nick Aldis known as Magnus in TNA has signed on with Global Force Wrestling. His TNA contract just expired. Aldis is expected to be part of the next GFW Grand Slam Tour events on July 9 in Wisconsin, July 10 in Pennsylvania and July 11 in Ohio. He will also be headlining the first ever GFW world television taping on July 24 in Las Vegas.
“I’m ready to explore opportunities as a free agent that haven’t been open to me before. Jeff Jarrett has been instrumental in my career development and I have always respected him as a performer and promoter. As soon as I heard about GFW I knew that one way or another I would play a part. I’m very excited about that.” said Aldis.
GFW Founder and CEO couldn’t not be happier that Magnus has decided to join the force. “Nick is one of the brightest stars in professional wrestling today and I could not be more excited to have front and center promoting GFW. His star power in the UK will help give Global Force Wrestling the brand exposure we are looking for.”
Aldis star power transcends pro wrestling and he is someone we have had our eye on for months,” said Karen Jarrett Co-Founder of GFW.
Dixie Carter confirmed on Twitter that she inducted Jeff Jarrett into the TNA Hall of Fame during Saturday night’s Impact Wrestling tapings in Orlando.

According to WrestlingINC.com there’s a feeling backstage in TNA that the buzz the company has received in the past week is better than the buzz they’ve received in the past year and they are happy with that, regardless of what happens with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. Also there is a feeling among some in TNA that Jarrett wouldn’t be there and wouldn’t have won at Slammiversary if everything was right with the company.

Jeff Jarrett became TNA’s first-ever King of the Mountain Champion at last night’s TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view. Jarrett says he never imagined he would be back outside of the Impact Zone after winning a title. Jarrett says where they go next will be unexpected, it will be big, it will benefit Global Force Wrestling and it will make a big impact on TNA.
Jeff Jarrett says in a new video posted to the Impact wrestling YouTube channel that he will take the championship to Global Force Wrestling should he win the King of the Mountain match tonight at Slammiversary.
In a new video posted to the GFW Wrestling YouTube account, Karen Jarrett discusses the return to TNA wrestling and the response so far from fans.
Jeff Jarrett’s return at last night’s TNA Impact Wrestling was kept a big secret. There was no mention of his return in the script or even a gap left in it. TNA’s script had no blanks gaps, so the segment that had been written in the script in that spot had to be edited out.
Jarrett is expected to be around TNA a lot more after this Sunday’s King of the Mountain Match at the Slammiversary pay-per-view. There’s a feeling within TNA that some sort of Global Force Wrestling invasion angle could be in the works, but that has not been confirmed, it’s just a feeling backstage last night.
Dave Meltzer speculated on Wrestling Observer Radio that Jeff Jarrett’s TNA return could include a Hall of Fame induction. AJ Styles had recently turned down TNA’s Hall of Fame offer.
