TNA has had deals with AAA since about 2004.
Also, Mickie James also appeared at the Rumble,what, two years ago ? So it's hardly *new*, especially if it leads to nothing.
I've noticed they don't mention that Deonna was a long-ass champ in TNA, which they would have a few years ago. So yeah, I guess they aren't on the best terms. Despite having the same partners (NJPW, AAA).
