PCO continues to go after TNA Wrestling.
PCO shocked many on Sunday evening when he took a sledgehammer to the TNA Digital Media Championship following a win at The People vs. GCW at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Even more surprising was afterward when a promo from PCO describing his success in TNA was abruptly cut off by the broadcast.
TNA Digital Media Champion PCO is at GCW tonight and not the TNA PPV, he destroyed the championship belt and started cutting an anti-TNA promo before GCW cut the feed on him

It was reported later that evening by Fightful Select that the angle caught both GCW and TNA off guard. It was reported that PCO’s deal with TNA had expired at the end of 2024, and the 57-year-old was expected to wrap up his dates with the promotion next weekend – however, that’s reportedly no longer planned to happen.
PCO’s rant against TNA has continued online in the hours following GCW’s event. A post issued by him on Monday morning made it seem like his gripe was specifically with the promotion’s management.
“The production team and creative team in TNA just so good, the new management ehhhnn,” he said on X. “Scott D’Amore was the architect. You need to get your evidence before judging.”
D’Amore exited TNA wrestling in early 2024, leaving his role as President after years of being a highly influential figure within the promotion. He was replaced by Anthony Cicione, who had previously held an executive position within Anthem Sports & Entertainment.
PCO later went on to allege that he took a pay cut at one time during his time with TNA.
PCO been frequently part of TNA programming since early 2022. He held the promotion’s Digital Media Championship for more than 180 days, first capturing it back in July with a Montreal Street Fight win over AJ Francis and defending it a trio of times on TNA programming.
