TNA wrestler “Miracle” Mike Bennett tweeted this on Monday afternoon after news broke that Billy Corgan lost his bid to get an injunction against TNA:
Welp,back to bad business as usual ?

Last week, when the two sides were in court, Bennett’s wife and valet, former WWE star Maria Kanellis Bennett, tweeted this:
Anyone else following @tnnaterau ?

That’s the Twitter handle of Nate Rau, a reporter from the Tennessean newspaper in Nashville, who was live tweeting the hearing. While numerous fans and some wrestlers followed Rau during the hearing, Maria was the only one to openly tweet about what was going on.
It only makes sense: As noted earlier today, checks written to various talent bounced on September 1st. On top of that, Corgan had previously alleged that TNA told the roster that the restraining order/lawsuit was stopping the company from paying them on October 15th. The Bennetts, who left ROH and NJPW, were among the performers who signed with TNA this year for decent sized guarantees with the idea that the company would make it back by booking them out to independent promotions. That has not gone well so far.
