Tony Schiavone Unfazed by WWE’s Collaborations with Other Promotions

WWE has recently demonstrated a willingness to collaborate with other wrestling promotions, most notably partnering with TNA Wrestling. This partnership has seen TNA talent appearing on NXT TV and Tatum Paxley featuring at TNA’s Against All Odds event.

During a recent episode of “What Happened When,” AEW announcer Tony Schiavone was asked about his thoughts on WWE working with other promotions.

“I’m not familiar with what’s going on. You’re telling me news I haven’t heard,” Schiavone remarked.

When co-host Conrad Thompson mentioned that Schiavone tends to stay in his lane, Schiavone pointed out that it doesn’t impact him at all and pointed out that we are no longer in the 90s.

“Because what they do does not impact me at all. People may say, ‘Well, yes it is because there’s a war going on and you’re competing for numbers.’ You know what, it ain’t what you think. This is not the 90s. Here’s proof it’s not the 90s. They’re going on Netflix. They’re going on a streaming service, okay. A streaming service. So I don’t know what they’re doing. If you get tied up into what they’re doing, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. You need to focus on your shit, at least from my perspective.”

Schiavone’s comments highlight his belief that focusing on AEW’s own product is more important than getting distracted by WWE’s activities. As WWE and AEW continue to explore partnerships and collaborations, the landscape of professional wrestling becomes increasingly dynamic and exciting for fans worldwide.
