TNA’s Dixie Carter confirmed that Impact Wrestling’s television deal with Destination America will end as of December 2015. In an interview with Sports Illustrated Magazine Dixie said;
“The biggest challenge for us is building a brand in the U.S. That’s where we need to grow. We’re contracted to Destination America through the end of the year, and we are in discussions going on for 2016.”
TNA will continue exist, and on a level that far exceeds what we’re currently doing. I’m looking ahead five years down the road, not a year down the road.”
There was a lot of speculation earlier in the year that TNA was going to be cancelled as early as September, after numerous websites reported various rumours. These were soon squashed as TNA continued to air throughout September, and we can confirm to you that the weekly show will continue to run up until December 2015.
What happens from 2016?
Well, it’s clear to all that the show is going to have to find a new network to air on, and there is still an optimistic outlook from Dixie Carter and the TNA camp. They will be looking to secure a Domestic TV deal within the USA, as their live shows alone will not make enough money to run the company.
Former WWE Superstars Matt & Jeff Hardy have also been rumoured to be in talks with WWE.
We will bring you more on this story as it develops.
