TNA Wrestling is entering a major phase of change as it prepares to shift its main show, Thursday Night IMPACT, to AMC starting January 15, 2026. Before this transition happens, the promotion needs to sort out the contract situations for several key wrestlers whose deals expire next month.
Fightful Select reports that contracts for Mustafa Ali, AJ Francis, Jake Something, The Rascals, Jody Threat, and Steve Maclin will be finalized within the coming month. Meanwhile, some prominent wrestlers such as Matt Cardona, Rich Swann, The Eye Inspiration, and Cedric Alexander are currently unsigned, with negotiations expected to begin soon. The delay in contract talks is partly because some wrestlers prefer to wait until the new TV deal is officially announced before committing to extensions.
While TNA aims to keep its existing talent, it is also bringing in new faces. Former AEW wrestler Bear Bronson is set to appear at upcoming TNA tapings in El Paso, Texas, which will include Final Resolution on December 5 and IMPACT recordings on December 6 and 7.
Fan Take: This period of contract discussions and new signings is crucial for TNA as it repositions itself on a major network like AMC. For fans, it signals potential fresh storylines and a stronger roster that could elevate the promotion’s profile and impact within the wrestling industry.
