Is TNA likely to be sold soon?
Lately, there’s been much speculation about TNA’s future in wrestling. Following its recent revival and new partnership with WWE, many believe TNA is poised to secure a fresh TV deal that offers better visibility.
However, a recent Fightful Select report suggests some unexpected possibilities for the company. Anthem executives are reportedly considering selling the promotion while also exploring new TV agreements, reaching out to possible buyers.
Interest in acquiring TNA isn’t new; for years, the company has held talks with prospective buyers within the wrestling industry. Former TNA President Scott D’Amore publicly discussed his unsuccessful attempts to purchase the promotion, and Tony Khan revealed he was approached by TNA before launching AEW.
The report also states that Tony Khan was approached about buying TNA again several years after establishing AEW. However, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ owners opposed the deal because many AEW wrestlers have stronger ties to ROH than TNA.
One intriguing rumor involves former UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta potentially showing interest. Fertitta, who has collaborated closely with Dana White for years, has clear connections to TKO.
While the future of wrestling companies is always uncertain, this latest news shows Anthem is keeping all options on the table.
Fan Take: This news is crucial for TNA fans because a sale could bring fresh investment and stability, potentially elevating the promotion’s profile. For the sport, it could mean exciting changes, greater competition, and new opportunities for wrestlers associated with TNA.
