TNA Wrestling has been going through more shake-ups than a bad reality show, with major internal changes leading to the departures of Christy Hemme, Josh Matthews, and even former TNA President Anthony Cicione.
So… what’s really going on? Is this a fresh start or just another case of corporate musical chairs?
Why the Big Changes?
According to PWInsider Elite, this isn’t about drama—it’s about restructuring.
🚨 Key Moves:
- Carlos Silva replaces Cicione as TNA’s new President.
- George Veras brought in as Executive Producer, filling a role similar to Lee Fitting in WWE.
- Hemme & Matthews let go—not due to performance issues, but because Veras wants his own production team.
Who Is George Veras?
- 10-time Emmy winner 🎥🏆
- Former CBS Sports producer 📺
- Ex-President of the Cleveland Browns 🏈 (which, let’s be honest, might be the hardest job of all)
- Runs Veras Communications, an Ohio-based media company
Long story short? The guy knows his way around big productions, and TNA clearly wants a fresh creative approach.
The TNA-WWE Connection
This comes as TNA and WWE enter a surprising new partnership, leading to:
- TNA World Champion Joe Hendry appearing in the Royal Rumble.
- NXT stars making guest appearances in TNA.
- A level of cross-promotion that nobody saw coming.
So, could these TNA changes be part of a bigger plan with WWE? 🤔
What’s Next?
- Will Veras’ vision improve TNA’s product?
- How deep will the WWE-TNA partnership go?
- Will we see even more WWE-TNA crossover moments?
One thing’s for sure—TNA’s new era is just getting started.
