In a post for SportsBlog.com, former WWE writer Kevin Eck said he doesn’t think the WWE’s Wyatts/New Day segment copied TNA’s Final Deletion angle, as he said the writers were not influenced by TNA when he was there.
He wrote: “Very few of us on the team watched Impact or had any knowledge of what was happening on the show. 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.”
He also wrote about specific instances where they had angles compared to ones done by TNA, Vince McMahon creating The Shield’s look and more.
