Alexander Hammerstone Confirms TNA Departure, Now a Free Agent

Alexander Hammerstone is officially back on the free-agent market. The powerhouse wrestler, known as “Muscle Mountain,” announced that he is no longer under contract with TNA Wrestling, bringing an abrupt end to his short-lived run with the promotion.

Hammerstone’s final TNA match aired on this week’s episode of iMPACT! on AXS TV, where he challenged Joe Hendry for the TNA World Championship. Despite putting up a strong fight, Hammerstone ultimately fell short, with Hendry securing the win after delivering his Standing Ovation finisher. The match took place after Hammerstone had already revealed his departure, making it a symbolic send-off for his time in TNA.

Hammerstone’s TNA Run: A Promising Start That Never Took Off

Hammerstone arrived in TNA at the start of 2024 with plenty of hype, having built a strong reputation as a former MLW World Heavyweight Champion. His first major feud in the company was a hard-hitting trilogy against Josh Alexander, but after losing the decisive rubber match, his momentum stalled. He was never quite able to regain his footing in TNA’s competitive landscape.

Complicating matters was Hammerstone’s absence from television, which led to speculation about his durability. However, the powerhouse recently released a video addressing those concerns, revealing that his absence was due to a misdiagnosis by a local state commission doctor. Initially told he had a heart condition, Hammerstone later discovered that he had actually been dealing with pneumonia. The process of clearing his name and proving his fitness to compete reportedly cost him around $20,000 in medical tests.

Despite this ordeal, Hammerstone continued wrestling on the independent scene. The only legitimate injury he suffered during his TNA tenure was a knee injury, which required surgery on December 23. Remarkably, he returned to action just two months later in February.

What’s Next for Hammerstone?

With his TNA run now behind him, Hammerstone is a free agent once again. Given his blend of power, agility, and charisma, there’s no doubt that he will have plenty of options. Could WWE or AEW come calling? Or will he continue making waves on the independent circuit before finding his next long-term home?

One thing is for sure: Hammerstone isn’t done yet. Stay tuned for updates on where the “Muscle Mountain” lands next.

Matt Hardy On The Hardy Boyz WWE Return Tonight On NXT

The Hardy Boyz are heading back to WWE—this time for their NXT debut. The legendary tag team, currently holding the TNA World Tag Team Championship, is set to take on No Quarter Catch Crew on Tuesday’s episode of NXT. This marks Matt and Jeff Hardy’s first WWE match in years, with Matt last competing in 2020 and Jeff departing in 2021.

Since leaving WWE, the brothers had stints in AEW and later TNA, where they are now a key part of the promotion’s resurgence. Their NXT appearance is the latest crossover in the growing partnership between WWE’s developmental brand and TNA, which has seen talent like Joe Hendry and Moose step into the NXT ring.

Matt Hardy on the Last-Minute Booking

Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt revealed that this match came together at the last minute but sees it as a major opportunity for both parties.

“It’s very cool because… NXT and TNA have this partnership right now… It has been so beneficial for TNA and it has also been so beneficial for NXT,” Hardy explained.

Matt also emphasized that the Hardys’ popularity remains strong despite the ups and downs of their careers.

“Our popularity is great right now. It’s been off the charts… The people have a connection with us and that connection is very strong. It hasn’t faded away.”

The Hardys’ AEW Run and Moving Forward

While their return to WWE programming is an exciting development, Matt reflected on their time in AEW, admitting they never fully regained momentum there. Jeff’s DUI arrest in 2022 led to a suspension, and according to Matt, it may have permanently damaged their standing with AEW President Tony Khan.

“I think we’re still a draw… I think we could’ve been that in AEW,” Matt said. “I understand, my brother, he made that mistake. I understand Tony didn’t feel good about trusting him… It just didn’t happen [there].”

Now, with a fresh opportunity in WWE’s NXT, the Hardys have a chance to remind fans why they are one of the most iconic tag teams in wrestling history. Whether this is a one-off appearance or the start of something bigger remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—the Hardy Boyz are still extreme and ready to thrill the WWE Universe once again.

Stay tuned for NXT this Tuesday to see the Hardys in action!

Ryan Nemeth Files Lawsuit Against AEW, Tony Khan, and CM Punk Over Alleged Locker Room Incident

It looks like AEW’s backstage drama isn’t staying behind closed doors. Former AEW talent Ryan Nemeth has officially taken legal action against All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Tony Khan, and CM Punk, filing a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on February 14. The lawsuit includes multiple allegations, including assault, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and intentional interference with prospective advantage.

According to Fightful, this legal battle appears to stem from a backstage incident on June 21, 2023, between Nemeth and CM Punk, who was still with AEW at the time. The situation reportedly escalated after Nemeth posted a tweet calling Punk “the softest man alive,” a comment Nemeth says was meant to bolster his heel persona. However, the tweet didn’t sit well with Punk, and the lawsuit claims the former AEW World Champion confronted Nemeth in the male talent locker room.

The lawsuit states that Punk aggressively approached Nemeth, allegedly saying, “Do we have a f*ing problem? Do we need to step outside and handle this like men?”** Nemeth asserts that he was cornered and attempted to defuse the situation. The following day, he allegedly reported the incident to AEW executives, but claims no disciplinary action was taken against Punk.

Nemeth Alleges Retaliation

After the confrontation, Nemeth’s issues with AEW seemingly worsened. The lawsuit states that AEW’s legal team informed him that he was being benched—something he believes was directly influenced by Punk. Despite his attempts to return to the ring, Nemeth claims he was repeatedly turned away. One notable incident occurred on August 12, 2023, when he arrived at an AEW event in Greensboro, North Carolina, only to be told by AEW official Pat Buck that he needed to leave the arena immediately. Travel was then arranged to send him home that same day.

Nemeth’s final AEW match took place on November 18, 2024, but by that point, CM Punk had already been fired. AEW terminated Punk’s contract in September 2023 following a physical altercation at AEW All In, marking the end of his tumultuous tenure with the company. Just two months later, Punk made his highly-publicized return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023.

Meanwhile, Ryan Nemeth has since moved on and currently competes alongside his brother, Nic Nemeth (fka Dolph Ziggler), in TNA Wrestling.

What’s Next?

This lawsuit brings yet another layer of controversy to AEW’s already rocky history with backstage altercations. While Punk has moved on to WWE and Nemeth has found a new home in TNA, this legal battle could shed more light on AEW’s handling of internal disputes. Will AEW respond publicly? Will Punk address the allegations? As the case unfolds, the wrestling world will be watching closely.

Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.

WWE and TNA’s Groundbreaking Partnership Confirmed to Run Through 2028

The details surrounding WWE and TNA Wrestling’s unprecedented working relationship are becoming clearer, and it looks like this alliance is built for the long haul.

During an appearance at Monopoly Events’ For The Love of Wrestling convention, JDC (formerly known as Fandango in WWE) revealed a key detail about the agreement. According to JDC, WWE and TNA have signed a three-year partnership deal, meaning their collaboration will extend through 2028.

A New Era of WWE-TNA Collaboration

This revelation solidifies what many fans had speculated since the January 16 announcement of the partnership. Prior to that, crossovers between the two companies had already begun taking shape in early 2024, with TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace making a surprise appearance in the WWE Royal Rumble match. The agreement has since paved the way for further interactions between WWE’s NXT brand and TNA talent, creating exciting possibilities for both promotions. Given how historic this partnership already feels, the possibilities are endless.

Former WWE Stars The Colons and Elijah (Elias) Make Surprise TNA Debuts on iMPACT!

TNA iMPACT! delivered yet another shocker on Thursday night, as three former WWE stars made their presence felt in a big way. The show opened with TNA World Champion Joe Hendry doing what he does best—entertaining the crowd with one of his signature musical performances. But his concert was soon interrupted by two unexpected guests: The Colons – Eddie and Orlando (Primo and Epico Colon).

The Colons Arrive in TNA for “Business”

The former WWE Tag Team Champions introduced themselves to the TNA audience but made it clear they weren’t here for applause—they were here for business. Just as it seemed like they were about to get physical with Hendry, the lights in Full Sail University flickered, setting the stage for another major debut.

Elijah (FKA Elias) Joins TNA

When the lights came back up, fans were greeted by another musical act—Elijah, the artist formerly known as WWE’s Elias. Strumming his guitar, Elijah used his signature lyrical storytelling to confirm that he had officially signed with TNA Wrestling. Fightful Select later backed up the claim, reporting that Elijah had put pen to paper with the promotion, though details on the length of his contract remain undisclosed.

Main Event Set: Hendry & Marella vs. The Colons

Following Elijah’s unexpected debut, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella wasted no time in booking a match. He announced that he would team up with Hendry to take on Eddie (Primo) and Orlando (Epico) in the night’s main event.

Elijah’s arrival continues the trend of ex-WWE talent finding a new home in TNA. After parting ways with WWE in September 2023 amid a wave of releases that also included Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler), Ash By Elegance (Dana Brooke), and Mustafa Ali, Elijah re-emerged on the independent wrestling scene, making appearances for Wrestling Revolver, International Wrestling Cartel, and World Series Wrestling. He was also recently spotted in a social media teaser alongside The Righteous, an AEW and Ring of Honor-affiliated faction.

TNA’s Growing Roster of Ex-WWE Talent

With Elijah, Ali, and Nemeth now officially part of the TNA roster, the promotion continues to build momentum with a mix of familiar faces and homegrown talent. As TNA looks to re-establish itself as a top wrestling destination, the addition of these former WWE names could bring even more eyes to the product.
