TNA Wrestling is actively pursuing new media rights agreements, with an announcement potentially coming soon, according to Carlos Silva, president of Anthem Sports Group. Silva shared an update on the company’s efforts to secure a larger platform for their weekly programming.
During an appearance on Ariel Helwani’s show, Silva revealed that TNA is in advanced negotiations for a new deal, with support from the Creative Artist Agency (CAA). He mentioned that talks have gained significant momentum lately.
“We want to secure a bigger platform. The CAA is assisting us, and we are fully engaged in the process. We’re close to finalizing something,” Silva stated. “This effort has been ongoing since early this year, and things have really picked up in the past 60 days.”
When asked about the timing, Silva provided an estimate for when a deal might be confirmed and outlined future plans. He confirmed the ambition to air TNA Shock! Live throughout the entire year, aiming for 52 weeks of programming.
“We’re looking at a 60 to 90-day timeframe to get this done, ideally starting by the end of 2025,” Silva explained. “There’s strong interest in having weekly live shows all year long. While it might not start fully in January, that is definitely the direction we want to go.”
Silva also noted flexibility in scheduling the weekly broadcast, preferring not to compete with heavy market nights. TNA is currently preparing for its next pay-per-view event, Slammiversary, scheduled for Saturday, July 19th.
