- Former WWE writer Kevin Eck posted his latest blog at SportsBlog.com, looking at if WWE copied TNA's "Final Deletion" angle for their angle with the New Day battling the Wyatts at their compound. Eck said that he believes that it's a coincidence, as the writers were not influenced by TNA during his time there.

>"Very few of us on the team watched Impact or had any knowledge of what was happening on the show," Eck wrote.
>"In fact, a number of writers had never even seen a single episode of it and were only familiar with WWE. Speaking for myself, I watched TNA on occasion during those years, but I also went months at a time without seeing it.

>"On the rare occasion that someone on the team unknowingly pitched an idea that resembled a TNA angle and another member of the team pointed it out, the response from the powers that be in WWE was: 'Who cares what TNA is doing?'

>The feeling was that we know we're not stealing their idea, so if we want to shoot an angle, we're not going to nix the idea just because it may be similar to a TNA angle."
