TNA is currently eyeing a $10 million media deal to go live every week. While speculation about the deal continues, the potential networks which TNA could call home have been revealed.

During a Q&A session, a fan asked Mike Johnson of PWInsider which network TNA Wrestling might land on as part of their new media deal. Johnson revealed that he’s aware of one platform that had been in talks with TNA not long ago, and also noted that WWE sources have been hearing rumors of another potential destination.

Johnson confirmed that before WWE secured its deal with Tubi, TNA had actually been in discussions with FOX about airing Impact weekly and live on Tubi. The concept would have included building toward bigger live specials, potentially airing on FS1.

While it’s unclear how far those talks progressed, Johnson said the discussions were serious enough that TNA began budgeting what it would cost to produce the shows.

On top of that, Johnson said that at least two WWE sources he spoke with this month believed A&E might be a potential home for TNA. Although that discussion has quieted recently, he added that doesn’t necessarily mean those talks are dead or that there aren’t other platforms in play for TNA’s future.

“I am aware of one platform that was talking to TNA in the recent past and there have been rumblings among WWE sources in recent weeks of another.

I can confirm that before WWE landed on Tubi, TNA (awhile back) was talking to FOX about having Impact airing weekly live on Tubi with the idea of building to big specials that would potentially air live on FS1. I don’t know how far talks went, but it was strong enough that TNA was budgeting out what their costs needed to be to air the shows.

I can also tell you that among at least two sources I spoke with in WWE this month, there was a belief that A&E could end up being a potential home for TNA. That discussion has quieted over the last few weeks, but that doesn’t mean talks there are DOA or that there aren’t other places TNA could land.”

Carlos Silva also recently stated that TNA could get a potential deal within the next 90 days. Whether the deal ends up being with Tubi, FS1, A&E, or another network, fans could soon be watching the start of a brand-new era for TNA Wrestling.
