Reorganizing TNA Wrestling (Part 1): Champions and Challengers

With WrestleMania now just a week away, that would be the obvious route to go for my next article. However, I feel like my fellow Bleacher Report writers have that covered.

So instead, I've decided to have a mini-series about TNA Wrestling.

This series is basically going to show how I would book TNA.This slideshow will show who I would have in place as the champions and challengers.

And I know what you're thinking: Why do I want to know how this goofball that has no experience inside wrestling would book TNA?

Well, I have no idea. I guess I can only tell you to give me a chance.

Without further ado, here we go!

No. 1 Contenders for the TNA Knockout Tag-Team Championships

The Beautiful People

I am not too fond of the idea of splitting these two, as has been hinted on Impact. Angelina Love and Winter just don't fit together as a team as much as Love and Velvet Sky do.

I think they are one of the better parts of the Knockouts division and you could even turn them heel, which they have been in the past.

The problem with this is that they have no face teams to challenge them.

How do you solve this problem? Well, as sad as it may seem, the only other face knockout is Mickie James.

Which heel are you going to turn to team with Mickie? Tara?

Nah, I didn't think so either.

TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions

Sarita and Rosita

This is a fairly new team, and they are part of the new Mexican-American stable led by Hernandez.

I like this new stable. It's a little controversial, which isn't a bad thing for a heel stable. Sarita and Rosita are good in-ring and do a good job of picking up heat from the crowd.

It is also a little bit uncommon to have a female team in a stable with men.

No. 1 Contender for the Knockouts Championship

Madison Rayne

I know, I am taking the championship away from the "queen bee of the Knockouts division."

I just feel like she is beginning to get stale as champion. After all, she has been champion since Oct. 14, meaning she is the longest-reigning champion out of both WWE and TNA.

As you'll see in the next slide, I am also ending her friendship with Tara.

TNA Knockouts Champion

Tara

Tara has been aligned with Madison Rayne long enough! I believe she should turn on Rayne (turning face in the process) and begin a feud.

Of course, when the time is right, she would take the championship.

Tara was a face before in TNA before losing a match (ironically to Madison Rayne), which got her "fired" from the company. She then returned as the biker chick.

This would allow the Rayne/Tara story to go full circle.

No. 1 Contender for the TNA X-Division Championship

Brian Kendrick

I know, I must have lost my mind to put this guy in this spot. But let me expand a bit.

Does anybody remember Brian Kendrick when he was teaming with Paul London in WWE? Well, if you do, you'll know he has a lot of talent inside the ring. If you don't, you should look him up on YouTube.

Unfortunately, TNA has given him an odd gimmick. So here's how to fix him:

Have him debut a new gimmick as a cocky heel. Put him in a suit and get him on a winning streak. Then, have Ric Flair offer him a spot in Immortal.

BAM!

TNA X-Division Champion

Rob Van Dam

Yes, I am placing RVD in the X-Division.

I believe he doesn't have much to do in the main event, so he'd put a big name in the X-Division. He fits the there perfectly and could have many fresh feuds.

Hopefully, this would enable TNA to put a bigger spotlight on the division that the company once centered on.

No. 1 Contender for the TNA Television Championship

Kazarian

Kazarian is currently the X-Division Champion, but he didn't fit in what I had done there. So, I've placed him in the hunt for the Television title.

This will make more sense after the next slide.

TNA Television Champion

Hernandez

This one may have you scratching your head, but once again, let me explain.

Hernandez, as previously mentioned, is the leader of the new Mexican-American stable.

So to give the stable some credibility, you give Hernandez the TV Title, along with Sarita and Rosita as Knockout tag champs.

This would make a rivalry between Mexican-America and Fortune. Of course, Hernandez would need some more help if this were to happen.

No.1 Contenders for the TNA Tag Team Championships

Crimson and Amazing Red

Although TNA has yet to utilize these two, I love the team of Crimson and Amazing Red.

I'm not sure if they would turn heel or what, but I think it would be a breath of fresh air for them to be in the tag-title hunt.

TNA Tag-Team Champions

Beer Money

Who else?

No. 1 Contender for TNA World Heavyweight Championship

A.J. Styles

The face of TNA (and leader of Fortune) should be in the hunt for the world title.

In fact, the only reason I didn't make him champion is it's more entertaining when a face is chasing a heel.

TNA World Heavyweight Champion

Mr. Anderson

Mr. Anderson can be a face or a heel, so I'm taking advantage of that. I think he should feud both faces or heels, not just one or other.

How can you get any better than Mr. Anderson vs. A.J. Styles for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship?

Reorganizing TNA Wrestling (Part 2): Non-Title Feuds and Stables

In Part 2 of this series, I will show you the non-title feuds and run through the all the different stables.
