Could the wrestling world see WWE have an even bigger stake in TNA? It's possible and a brand new report indicates why.

A new report from The Wrestling Observer indicates that WWE has the first right of refusal on a potential TNA purchase. The report indicates that WWE has a certain length of time to buy the company and can match any other offers for the promotion.

TNA is currently negotiating potential partnerships with CAA's help. Current WWE CEO Nick Khan used to hold a major position inside that agency.
