Other than general incompetence, why do you think TNA likes to LOLTNA? Is it branding or circumstance? Idk at this point.

I'm not sure. It's a systemic reach to intentionally try to piss off their most loyal of fans, and honestly it's gone on for decades. Jeff Jarrett's insanely long reign, and never dropping the title to Monty Brown. The James Storm/Bobby Roode Bound for Glory 2012 thing. The Austin Aries Bound For Glory main event snafu. Putting a title on Del RIo at all. Delaying and delaying Santana or Josh Alexander, and even delaying Joe Hendry. They have consistently put themselves in positions to try to appear smarter than the audience that does their best to enjoy the show.

What would you say the odds are of TNA and/or AAA being added to WWE 2K26?

I would say there's a significant chance of top or marketable AAA talent being added to WWE 2K26. I'd be very surprised if AAA titles and venues aren't worked in. As far as TNA, that's a whole different beast, and I would imagine that there's a real possibility of us seeing someone like the Hardy Boyz. Maybe a "TNA Pack" DLC is a reality instead of a full on roster.

Is there hope for TNA?

There's hope for every wrestling company. They have more positive trajectory now than ten years ago. Things were grim back then. I don't know why so many wrestling fans live in the gloom and doom for these companies. If you don't like them, don't consume the show! We need more effective places for talent to work, not less. TNA has a lot of great talent and people working there. I don't agree with a lot of decisions they've made in the last two years, but there's a lot I agree with, and the same could be said with most top wrestling companies. It's a product of attempted growth.
