TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella spoke with Denise Salcedo about various topics, including the ongoing collaboration and cross-promotion between TNA Wrestling and WWE.

Marella said, โ€œYeah, I mean, itโ€™s huge to just to see the relationship, and thatโ€™s another thing. If it wasnโ€™t for this historic relationship taking place right now, we (he and Arianna Grace) wouldnโ€™t have had a chance to work together. So thatโ€™s another one of the factors that lined up. No, itโ€™s awesome, man. Itโ€™s really good exposure for some of our top guys.โ€

On how itโ€™s good exposure for NX:

โ€œItโ€™s really good exposure for the NXT crew, especially if theyโ€™re homegrown talent and theyโ€™ve never seen anything outside of WWE to come over to our show and just get a different look at what wrestling can be. So itโ€™s the epitome of a win-win situation.โ€
