AEW star Jeff Jarrett has praised multi-time TNA Tag Team Champions The Motor City Machine Guns and the impact they had on TNA Wrestling’s tag team division, following their recent exit from the promotion.

The Motor City Machine Guns were at the forefront of TNA’s tag team division for years, and both Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin captured several titles in the promotion across their tenure. While the two are reportedly now on their way to WWE, Jeff Jarrett recently looked back at their run with TNA and the legacy they left behind, during an episode of his “My World” podcast.
“I believe those two guys will never get the credit they deserve for the growth of TNA tag team wrestling,” Jarrett claimed.
The veteran also noted that America’s Most Wanted — Chris Harris and James Storm — were pillars of the TNA tag team division, and also added that the MCMG and Beer Money — Bobby Roode and James Storm — were the two most important names in the division overall. Jarrett tipped his hat at America’s Most Wanted, but opined that the team didn’t have significant rivals at the time due to how the roster was during their run. However, in the case of MCMG and Beer Money, the WWE Hall of Famer claimed that they were at the top of the TNA tag team division, and compared their significance to the division to the pioneers of the Knockouts Division, Gail Kim and Awesome Kong.

“I think the Guns and Beer Money are the same with [the] TNA tag team history,” Jarrett claimed.

Jeff Hardy Confirms Return of Willow Character – Jeff Hardy has officially confirmed the return of his iconic alter-ego, Willow the Whisp, to Total Non-Stop Action (TNA) Wrestling. During an appearance on the Battleground podcast, Hardy revealed that the character will make a comeback with a fresh look, exciting fans who have followed his career and this darker, enigmatic persona.
Hardy shared his enthusiasm for Willow’s return, explaining that this version will feature notable changes. “It’ll look different than it did last time,” Hardy said, hinting at the new design for Willow. “There is a new version of the Willow face plate mask in the making, and it’s looking pretty sick, like sick in a good way.” The update is expected to breathe new life into the character, which has always represented Hardy’s more creative and mysterious side.
Willow the Whisp has a storied history, dating back to Hardy’s early days in wrestling, and it became a fan favorite during his time in TNA. Known for its dark and unpredictable nature, the character has allowed Hardy to tap into a more chaotic, theatrical style in the ring, offering a contrast to his more traditional “Charismatic Enigma” persona. Hardy reassured fans that Willow’s return is not far off, adding, “Before it’s all said and done, Willow will definitely return here in Total Non-Stop Action.”
This news has sparked excitement among Hardy’s loyal fanbase, who are eager to see how the updated version of Willow will impact his current run in TNA. With the character’s return imminent, Hardy’s TNA journey is set to take a compelling turn, offering fans a glimpse into one of the most creative sides of his wrestling career.

More Changes in Place for NXT’s Transition to The CW – As noted, NXT is set to undergo significant changes as it makes its highly anticipated debut on The CW Network on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, from the Allstate Arena in Chicago. These changes mark a new chapter for WWE’s developmental brand, with updates to the show’s logo, presentation, and overall tone.
According to new reports, WWE is using this week in Chicago to make adjustments not just to NXT’s broadcast but also to the WWE Performance Center (PC) itself. After this past Tuesday’s NXT on USA, the set at the PC was taken down, signaling that modifications are underway. It remains unclear if the set will simply be updated or if WWE plans to introduce a completely new design for NXT’s weekly show. The current set has been in use since the NXT 2.0 rebrand in 2021, marking a potential end to that visual era as WWE moves into this new phase.
Another major shift is NXT’s television rating. Both the CW Network’s NXT series page and the YouTube TV app have listed NXT with a TV-14 rating, marking a departure from the TV-PG rating the show has held on USA Network. This shift hints at edgier content and a more mature tone for the program, which could bring back some of the intensity that long-time NXT fans remember from its earlier days.
With these changes, WWE appears to be positioning NXT as a more prominent and exciting part of their overall programming, likely appealing to a wider and slightly older audience. The Chicago premiere on The CW, combined with the revamped set, logo, and the introduction of TV-14-rated content, has fans eager to see what new elements NXT will bring to the table as it embarks on this new journey.
