According to Fightful Select, sources within TNA Wrestling have indicated that the company's prolonged silence following its Bound For Glory pay-per-view event in October could be related to budget management and ongoing negotiations for a new television deal with AMC Networks. While no official explanation was provided, some believe that TNA paused TV tapings for operational reasons while finalizing the agreement. This break lasted for several weeks before the company resumed its operations.
The report also noted that discussions regarding the AMC deal began in the spring, but only a small internal group was involved, keeping information restricted until December 2. On that date, the roster received a formal briefing just hours before the public announcement. The tight control over details during this period fueled speculation about the company’s status.
The new agreement schedules TNA iMPACT! to air on Thursday nights on AMC and AMC+, starting January 15, 2026. The show will run from 9 to 11 PM ET and feature a mix of live broadcasts and taped matches. Internally, the shift to a major network is seen as a significant opportunity for broader reach and more consistent exposure. While most talent reacted positively to the news, some wrestlers expressed hope that this change might eventually lead to a greater emphasis on creative decisions.
Initially, the announcement sparked speculation regarding the future of WWE’s ongoing partnership with TNA; however, several reports have confirmed that the working relationship will continue as expected.
