Robert Stone Says WWE Buying TNA Is Absolutely Possible Amid Ongoing Expansion

Could WWE actually buy TNA? According to Robert Stone, anything is on the table right now—and he’s not ruling it out.

During a June 2025 interview with 10ount Media, Stone was asked whether WWE acquiring TNA could become a legitimate reality, especially after the company’s recent purchase of AAA and ongoing cross-promotional partnerships with TNA and NOAH. His answer made it clear: the door is wide open.

“I think at this point in wrestling, in the WWE, anything could become a reality. I mean, if you say it out loud, I think it could happen. I mean, that’s how hot everything right now is in wrestling. That’s how hot everything the WWE is doing right now.”

Stone pointed out that WWE’s current mindset is all about embracing other styles and promotions—and that kind of openness is what makes something like a TNA acquisition far more realistic today than it ever would’ve been in the past.

“And they’re—they’re so open. It’s so cool that they want to work with everyone, and they’ve got open arms to every kind of style now. We’ve had a working relationship this past year with NOAH in Japan. Like, they’re just welcoming. They’re welcoming everyone.”

He added that WWE understands the bigger picture: fans want variety, and there’s no reason to pretend other companies don’t exist.

“Because they understand that there’s a lot of wrestling out there. So why not? Let’s all, you know, unify and work together and give the fans a little bit of everything. So yeah, I mean, all bets are off at this point. Anything could happen.”

Stone’s comments add to growing speculation about WWE’s long-term plans, especially after cross-brand matches and surprise appearances have become more frequent. With TNA stars regularly appearing on NXT and WWE brass already absorbing other companies, the idea of another major acquisition doesn’t seem so far-fetched.
