    More deets:

    TNA to AMC is a multi-year U.S. rights deal is around $30M. With 1.15.26 set as the launch date, sources also indicate WWE intends to end its NXT–TNA partnership as agreement includes a 60-day termination clause, and the AMC deal activates it.

    So TNA gets a tv deal, and the TNA/NXT partnership ends as a result supposedly.

        Seems like the first company to full on partner with WWE and come out of it with more than they lost.

        WWE snagged a couple wrestlers who woulda been on their way out by now anyway and helped get TNA on tv to be another ratings-based thorn in the side for AEW, and TNA gets a tv deal, out from under WWE’s thumb with their company intact, and a bag of money they needed.

        Did not expect it to go like this lmao
