From Jeremy Borash and his column "From the Inside" on NWATNA.com:
"I can confirm that it will be NWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett vs. WWA World Champion Sting in a unification bout to take place in Auckland, NZ at WWA's "The Reckoning" PPV later this month."

Which means it will go like all unification matches (outside of Lawler/Von Erich in '88); a DQ or a Countout decision, both wrestlers retain.

That's a distinct possibility, given that Jarrett has worked with WWA in the past, and Borash's role with that group. It's also possible that Andrew McManus wants a piece of the TNA pie, so to speak. He has some bucks, so perhaps the Jarretts would like to see him spread some of that around with their group.
If they both retain, is there any chance Sting will show up on WWE TV and dump the WWA belt in a trashcan? Just wondering.

Because of the minimal exposure of WWA, bringing the title to WWE would probably have more people scratching their heads wondering what the hell WWA is than people thinking it was a big deal that WWE managed to get their champion. Considering how little regard WWE had for even the WCW titles, I can't see them making a big deal out of getting the champion away from any existing organization.
Since its in Auckland, I wonder if Tony Garea will guest referee.
i wouldnt order the PPV but I would like to go to the match in person. Dont know if anyone else has been down under but, Aucklands a great city, and New Zealands a beautiful country.
Saw this on deadspin. I don't read the dirtsheets, but I didn't see it here. Seems like pretty big news. http://www.medialifemagazine.com/artman2/publish/Cable_20/McMahon_Let_s_imagine_a_WWE_network.
