ETTD = Everything Tr*mp Touch Dies

Massive feel-good boost for TNA cred, emotional fan moments. AEW/NJPW possible too, but TNA fits narratively best.

TL;DR: If it happens → legendary full-circle return. Phenomenal one last ride? 🏆🔥 #ThankYouAJ #TNA

Fans/X buzzing: generational run, full circle, possible TNA title win before true goodbye (maybe Bound for Glory?).

WWE/TNA ties strong; cross-approval likely for appearances/matches.

Already appeared non-wrestling on TNA Impact (Jan 15, 2026 AMC debut) calling it “the house AJ built.”

Rumors swirl: short retirement tour in TNA, dream matches vs. Santana, Nemeth, Moose, Kazarian, etc.

He “retired” from WWE Jan 31, 2026, but put gloves back on → hints not fully done.

Contract expires ~Feb 2026; trademarks filed for independence.

Dual Vibe

RAW = edgy Netflix chaos, unpredictable Attitude energy.

SmackDown = workrate-focused competition, merit-based rises.

Distinct rosters, stages, booking → fresh split heading to Rumble & ’Mania.
