TNA Potentially Close To New TV Deal

TNA Wrestling’s search for a new deal could be entering its final phase, with reports suggesting the brand is ‘close’ to securing a new deal.

Recent reports suggested the brand were looking at a securing a new media rights deal, with TNA President Carlos Silva suggesting the promotion would be looking for a $10 million per year deal as a ballpark figure.

In an update, Silva revealed to Ariel Helwani that talks have recently accelerated:

“We’ve been working on it since the beginning of the year, really since I joined. And it really has accelerated over the last 60 days,” Silva said. “I think we could be in a 60- or 90-day window to get something done. I mean, as you know, the media landscape is changing every single day, and literally week to week things are changing.”

“It’s never done until the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed, but we’re working hard at it,” he added.

Silva had earlier noted how he hoped to make IMPACT a weekly live show, and expanded on his hopes for this:

“We’ve been asked by many partners that they’d like it to be live 52 weeks a year. And so we’re talking through how we would do that. Maybe it wouldn’t go live in January straight away, 52 weeks. But we would certainly lean into that to try and make it happen now,” said Silva, adding that weekly live shows wouldn’t necessarily see TNA at a new venue every week.
