Saturday Morning Adventures is an alternate 1987 timeline where the Turtles were introduced to TCRI during its second season, Michelangelo never swapped his nunchaku for a grappling hook, which leads to Shredder not destroying the Channel 6 building in Get Shredder! Personally, I see this as the only way this comic can realistically exist.

Granted I wouldn't ever tell someone that something that happened in a comic book of a tv show is actually 100% canon to the show itself like some people online seem to get all anal about.

“Get Shredder!” seems to be shortly after season 7. I know most people aren’t timeline autists like me and just imagine the show operates under Peanuts time, but nearly 50 stories have taken place and two winter seasons have passed.
Also, season 8 shows the bad guys just finding the Hall of Science as a new hideout. But they’ve been using it since early on in SMA. There’s a couple of other small contradictions, but those are the main ones. So it’ll always be an alternate season 8 for me, instead of a bridge.
EDIT: There’s also Old Man Mike from Battle Nexus and the upcoming finale backup. We’ll see what comes from that, but he’s living a quasi-Last Ronin life separated from his brothers and still in fighting shape. The future of FW shown in “Once Upon a Time Machine” reveals he’s a fat chud living with his family in an old folks home.
