We've received some reader questions as to how TNA management functions when it comes to the day to day of the promotion. Here is a breakdown based on what we have been able to confirm:
Executive Producer Ariel Shnerer is the one leading the day to day and has gotten good marks from talent for his communication skills as he's regularly in contact with talents. We've heard from a number of talents that leading into tomorrow's Against All Odds PPV that they've heard from management and creative as to their direction and what they are likely set to do in Chicago, which is not something that had regularly happened until late.
TNA President Anthony Cicione is less involved in the day to day and is overseeing the business side of things more than anything in creative. Creative falls more to Shnerer. Cicone is believed to be the person involved in continuing to build the WWE NXT relationship. He would be the person in charge at the end of the day but Shnerer is the one deep in the trenches, so to speak.
Gail Kim is very much the head of Talent Relations at this point, which makes sense as she's likely the most respected person in the TNA locker room.
Tommy Dreamer, Jorge Barbosa and Delirious work on the creative with Shnerer overseeing and Kim also giving input. The creative process has remained the same after RD Evans' exit. There is no "official" head of creative but more of a team that is working together as opposed to one person's vision.
TNA will present the 2024 Against All Odds PPV from Chicago's Cicero Stadium tomorrow, featuring:
*Moose vs. Matt Hardy for the TNA title.
*Mustafa Ali vs. Trent Seven for the X-Division Championhip.
*Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers vs. Nic and Ryan Nemeth for the TNA Tag Team titles.
*Jordynne Grace has an open challenge for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
*Sami Callihan vs. Jonathan Gresham.
*Mike Santana & Steve Maclin vs. The Rascalz.
*ABC vs. Josh Alexander & Eric Young.
