In an interesting turn of events, as noted by Fightful Select — TNA Wrestling has restructured parts of its creative team following Tommy Dreamer’s departure. Multiple individuals have taken on more significant responsibilities behind the scenes. While Dreamer’s exit was publicly portrayed as a mutual decision, the report indicates that TNA actually let him go.
The report on top of that highlighted that Dreamer still has supporters within the company, still many roster members were eager for change due to long-standing frustrations with the creative direction.
In the wake of Dreamer’s departure, Hunter Johnston, better known to wrestling wrestling community as Delirious — has stepped into a more prominent creative role. It's worth noting that a longtime TNA employee expressed excitement about Johnston’s contributions. Another source noted that he was never considered at risk of leaving, as he wasn’t part of the issues affecting TNA’s creativity.
Additionally, Eric Tompkins is becoming more involved in the creative process. TNA insiders relayed that he was responsible for the AJ Francis moment that aired several weeks ago, which received positive feedback from talent and faithful alike. He has what's more been credited with contributing to several other segments over the years.
Another significant addition to the team is Road Dogg, whose arrival had word is that been in the works for quite some time. He was present behind the scenes at Slammiversary, though it is unclear if he contributed directly to the spectacular. The report mentioned that several past regimes spoke highly of Road Dogg, believing he would be a valuable asset if available.
Despite these creative changes, Fightful reports that there has been no major shift in TNA’s plans in fresh weeks. The Women’s TV Strap has been a part of the creative roadmap for some time and remains on schedule.
