Legitimate question, how has this benefited TNA?

Don't follow TNA at all; this can solely be attributed to a handful of TNA people appearing on WWE television?
It’s the biggest audience they’ve had in a decade. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out what’s changed over there
On top of that, WWE has helped Joe Hendry’s star rise. People wanna see him. Go peep the impact threads, it’s a lot of people here starting to watch that hadn’t been watching in years. The NXT partnership did that. shyt, even cboz tappin in

Seems like the boys already answered it but ultimately it's actually very simple: exposure. It's just like a rapper getting a feature on a Top Billboard single, those eyes lead to greater opportunities for that artist thanks to a wider audience.

Wasn't sure if it was a Drake thing where it helps him but doesn't really help the up and coming artist outside of short term bump.
I feel like the working relationships between TNA+AEW and TNA+NXT aren't necessarily apples to apples. I could be wrong and it's been a long ass time. But, I really thought the previous partnership did more for Kenny and Callis then the two Companies actually mutually using each other. This current working cross isn't like a brand vs brand invasion angle or anything. But, it does feel like it's a situation where the two companies are using the talent more interchangeably. I feel the TNA+NXT has made it more of follow to see who from where is going to do what this week and that likely in turn has put some more eyes on the TNA show consistently and kind of have the fan bases checking each other out when they likely weren't doing so before.

It helps perception wise when TNA wrestlers show up on NXT and they get big crowd reactions and the audience is chanting “T-N-A!” and Vic Joseph is putting their guys over huge on commentary
Bonus points for the hybrid chant “N-X-T-N-A!”

The clip when Joe Hendry first appeared on NXT was seen over 1 million times on Twitter & is currently the most watched video on there outside of a Wrestlemania related video this year
Take that as you will

AEW Deebo’d TNA
Kenny didn’t even drop the title to an TNA wrestler at the time
He dropped it to another AEW wrestler on a AEW show to just boost their own ratings
Ran commercials basically shytting on TNA
Only thing about the partnership with NXTNA is no other big stars are heading over to either brand than Hendry/Grace/Paxley/Dempsy
The two latter aren’t big stars in the first place
