As the countdown to WWE’s Royal Rumble 2024 premium live event intensifies, fans have been buzzing with anticipation over the possibility of a former star making a sensational return to the ring. However, recent developments suggest that these expectations may be in jeopardy, as contractual obligations with TNA Wrestling continue to take precedence.
TNA’s Historic Weekend
The wrestling world was abuzz following TNA Wrestling’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view event, which took place this past Saturday night and saw a historic achievement for the promotion. According to PWInsider, the Snake Eyes TV tapings held on Sunday marked TNA’s best TV gate in its history, further solidifying the brand’s resurgence.
Morale Soars as TNA Brand Returns
PWInsider reported that the morale within TNA Wrestling soared following these successful events, particularly as the TNA brand was officially resurrected at Hard to Kill. The energy within the promotion was palpable, reflecting the positive momentum generated by their recent achievements.
Trinity’s Unexpected Continuation
Amidst the excitement, one unexpected twist emerged — Trinity, also known as Naomi in WWE, did not conclude her tenure with TNA Wrestling as initially anticipated. Trinity dropped the Knockouts World Championship to Jordynne Grace at Hard to Kill and, contrary to expectations, continued her involvement in the promotion at the subsequent TV tapings.
Despite a tearful sendoff at Hard to Kill, where fans believed she was bidding farewell to TNA, Trinity’s lingering commitments have thrown a wrench into the speculation surrounding her potential return to WWE.
Earlier reports suggested that Trinity would soon become a free agent, fueling rumors of a surprise appearance in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
WWE’s Talent Acquisition Strategy
PWInsider’s report indicates that Trinity still has several dates left with TNA, contradicting previous assumptions about her imminent departure. WWE, known for bringing in talent after they finish commitments with other promotions, typically avoids utilizing talent on TV while they fulfill independent dates.
