Backstage News On Sanada's Future With TNA And Wrestle-1 Allowing TNA To Use Him

- Regarding Sanada working with TNA, they are essentially getting him for free as Wrestle-1 sent him there and is paying him only his regular salary. We've noted before how the idea is that working for TNA and holding the X Division Title will make Sanada a bigger star in Japan.

It was believed that Sanada was returning to Japan full-time before the year was over but there's been talk of signing him to a joint contract where he would work primarily for TNA but go back to Japan for big shows. This would mean that he has to be somewhat protected in TNA's storylines if he's going to remain a big star in Japan. The Great Muta sees Sanada as a future top guy of Wrestle-1.
