Don’t plan on the NXT-TNA partnership ending anytime soon.
With TNA Wrestling reaching a media rights deal with AMC Networks, sports business insider Blake Avignon reported that WWE intended to end its existing partnership with TNA. Avignon claimed that a 60-day termination clause was built into the WWE-TNA agreement, with TNA’s new deal with AMC activating it.
Multiple wrestling news outlets, including PWInsider, Fightful Select, and Sports Illustrated, have since poured cold water on this report. TNA Wrestling President Carlos Silva specifically told The Takedown on SI that the “partnership is strong, and less than zero truth to it ending.”
A high-ranking source in TNA additionally told The Takedown that the aforementioned report was “100 percent bulls**t*.”
PWInsider reported that sources in both WWE and TNA were “adamant” that the multi-year partnership between the two sides will continue on. Moreover, WWE officials were said to be aware of TNA’s television deal with AMC well in advance of the official announcement made earlier today. WWE NXT was also referenced in today’s joint press release from TNA and AMC.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select added that WWE even aided in the TNA-AMC agreement, which will kick off with the airing of “Thursday Night iMPACT!” on January 15, 2026. WWE and TNA’s partnership allows talents from NXT and TNA to cross over into each other’s brands for matches and other events. On rare occasions, TNA talents have emerged on WWE’s main roster; WWE Raw star and TNA alum AJ Styles also notably appeared at TNA Slammiversary.
