TNA Wrestling is making movesbig ones. With just weeks left before 2025 kicks off, the promotion is reportedly closing in on a $10 million media rights deal to take its weekly show live again, and now theres a new player at the table: AMC.
According to The Takedown on SI, a new TV suitor with no WWE ties is pursuing TNA, and AMC has emerged as a legit landing spot.
AMC may not be known for wrestling, but its got reach. The network built its name on massive scripted hits like Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Mad Men. And while AMC has never aired pro wrestling, the report points out that this partnership could put TNA in front of a much bigger audience.
Back in 2014, there were even rumors that AMC was looking to buy WWE and merge with the sports entertainment juggernautbut that talk fizzled out. This time, the interest is real, and TNAs trying to capitalize.
Dave Meltzer previously named A&E and The CW as possible broadcast options for TNA, but both come with WWE baggage. WWE has working relationships with both networks, so theyd have a say in any deal made.
Theres also talk of a possible time slot change for TNAs weekly show. Strategically, Wednesday was floated as a target nightdirectly opposite AEW Dynamite. Thats a bold move, but one that would put TNA right back in the fight.
Meltzer also suggested that A&E could move TNA to Sunday nights to serve as a lead-in for WWEs reality series LFG, which reportedly struggled with ratings earlier this year.
If AMC locks this deal, it would shake up the wrestling TV landscape going into 2025. Whether it ends up with AMC, A&E, or The CW, one things clearTNA is ready to level up and hit a bigger platform than its had in years.
