WWE has changed in many ways since being acquired by TKO. The new management has allowed talent to compete outside the company in promotions like GCW, NOAH, and others. According to recent reports, some Game Changer Wrestling stars were present at the recent Madison Square Garden live show of the Triple H-led promotion.
GCW stars recently handed out flyers to promote their upcoming shows at AEW events. All Elite Wrestling seemingly does not have a good relationship with Game Changer Wrestling lately due to Effy's comments about Tony and Shahid Khan. However, things seem to be working well between WWE and GCW as the Stamford-based company has also allowed talents like Shayna Bazsler, the Creed Brothers, and more to appear at GCW Bloodsport events.
According to a report by Fightful Select, during the recent live event at Madison Square Garden, "several" GCW talent were in a suite and handed out flyers for their January 19 show outside the World's Most Famous Arena.
"There were several from GCW in a suite at Madison Square Garden at the WWE house show. There were some handing out flyers outside the event to promote they January 19 show," reported Fightful.

Josh Barnett on WWE allowing talent for GCW shows
Earlier this year, World Wrestling Entertainment allowed Shayna Bazsler to appear at Josh Barnett's GCW Bloodsport X event during WrestleMania weekend.
During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Barnett opened up about his long-standing working relationship with the Stamford-based promotion. He also spoke about talents appearing at Bloodsport who he actually trained like Baszler, Timothy Thatcher, Davey Boy Smith Jr., and others.
"Hopes and prayers, they actually did line up for once," Barnett said. "I have a relationship with WWE and I have for some years. Shayna being one of my athletes, but I've actually trained and worked with a lot of athletes like Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Tim Thatcher just to name a few. Just through that communication, now just seemed to be the right opportunity and they were completely amenable to sending her over. I was obviously overjoyed to be able to have my student and to have somebody that's a WWE talent in my show." [00:00 - 00:42]
We will have to wait and see if the Stamford-based company allows more talent to work in GCW and other wrestling promotions in the future.
