James Storm confirmed on Twitter that the TNA World Title Series tournament was not planned out ahead of time. Storm confirmed this when he responded to a fake Jim Ross account.
@WWEJimRoss never was informed I was in one. But hey Jim if you haven’t heard I’ll be on the @WWENetwork tomorrow night.

@JamesStormBrand @WWENetwork definitely! Glad to see you in NXT! It’s where it’s at. Sauce it! — JRsBBQ (@WWEJimRoss) October 20, 2015
TNA has had this tournament planned for some time. The matches were originally taped for a One Night Only pay-per-view but when TNA was able to get an extension with Destination America, then they used those matches for Impact Wrestling instead. Unless they can get another extension, then they’ll be off the network in February.
