TNA president Dixie Carter got a huge morale boost thanks to TNA's new marketing deal with United Talent Agency (UTA). The deal was reported by Deadline.com and in the article Carter said, "UTA's diverse range of capabilities make them an ideal partner to help TNA add tremendous visibility and value to the global IMPACT Wrestling brand." She then added, "We are confident that by working with the UTA team, we will not only expand our wrestling business in exciting ways, but we will also build new entertainment ventures and properties."

According to WrestlingHeadlines.com, the marketing deal has been met with positive reaction backstage and people are confident that UTA will be able to help TNA either renew their TV contract with Spike or find a new deal elsewhere. This could be the marketing deal that not only helps Dixie Carter, but saves TNA from going out of business.

Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy had the following to say about his masked Willow character that has definitely sparked heavy debates in TNA:

"Willow was my bad guy identity when Matt and I were running the OMEGA shows. I would be Jeff Hardy as the good guy and Willow would be the bad guy wrestling Matt across the indie circuit. It was an alter-ego back then, and now I had a chance to bring it back in TNA.

"I’m glad they gave me the chance to do it because it means the world to me to see how cool the promos have turned out and the vignettes leading up to the debut, and the entrance. The in-ring matches are still a work in progress for me, but it’s fun to be that extension of myself, especially now at 36 years old on national TV." (Credit: Lords Of Pain)
