>>19398269If AEW keeps declining and TNA keeps growing, maybe they'll get to a point where they can stand on their own. But right now they simply cannot. Their roster was already pretty weak before they lost like four or five of their biggest names this year. TNA right now needs this WWE partnership. And hopefully being close with WWE will help them land free agents. Yes, many of those free agents will move on to WWE, but Carlos isn't delusional. Anyone whose career has upward momentum doesn't want to end their career in TNA. He knows that, and he's not going to pretend otherwise.
