The January 29 episode of TNA Wrestling had a ton of memorable moments—and one of them included Steve Maclin getting fired live during the show, a shocking twist that sent social media buzzing.
According to Wade Keller of PWTorch.com, the broadcast averaged 201,000 viewers on AMC, up from the 171,000 viewers the show drew on January 22. This marks the highest viewership since TNA moved to AMC on January 15.
In the key P18–49 demographic, iMPACT! posted a 0.04 rating, an increase from the 0.03 recorded the previous week.
These figures reflect only linear TV viewership on AMC and do not include streaming or digital viewership from AMC’s platforms.
This week’s episode of TNA iMPACT saw the Feast or Fired briefcases being revealed. Steve Maclin was the unlucky one as he opened the “Fired” briefcase while Eddie Edwards, Trey Miguel, and Eric Young all walked away with title shots.
Elayna Black also made her in-ring return as she squared off against Ruthie Jay in singles competition. This and many other moments took place throughout the night.
