According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the talks include several strategic possibilities. One option involves moving TNA’s weekly show to Wednesday, a move that would directly benefit WWE by placing a new competitor against AEW Dynamite. Another potential scenario would see TNA air on Sunday on A&E, where it could function as a lead-in program for the network’s WWE-produced reality series.
This news aligns with recent comments from TNA President Carlos Silva, who stated the company was “close” to finalizing an agreement with a “bigger platform.” During an appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show, Silva projected that an announcement could come within the next 60 to 90 days.
The push for a new home follows a period of growth for TNA, which set company records for attendance and engagement at its Slammiversary event in July. The promotion aims to secure a deal valued at around $10 million annually, which would facilitate a move to a live, weekly broadcast format 52 weeks a year. Leadership believes a larger network with a reach of 40-50 million homes could boost its weekly viewership from approximately 100,000 households to a range of 250,000 to 500,000.
TNA’s negotiating position is strengthened by its active partnership with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and the ongoing crossover storyline with WWE NXT, which has seen stars like Trick Williams and Jacy Jayne hold TNA world titles. This relationship, officially established in January 2025, has provided TNA with increased visibility and mainstream legitimacy, adding urgency to its efforts to secure its largest U.S. television deal in over a decade.
