TNA President Carlos Silva Speaks Out on 2025 TV Deal Rumors Amid CW and A&E Speculation

TNA President Carlos Silva is keeping things close to the vest when it comes to TNA Wrestling’s next TV home — but he’s making it clear the company is talking to “everybody.”

Silva recently spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider following reports from the Wrestling Observer that both The CW and A&E have shown interest in the promotion. While he wouldn’t confirm any specific negotiations, Silva admitted there have been major discussions in recent months that have helped move things forward.

“I can’t really say anything about the rumors, because they are just rumors. I do enjoy reading all the rumors. We’re talking to everybody. There have been a lot of great discussions over the last 60 days, sort of leading up to Slammiversary. Slammiversary did exactly what you wanted to do, which is to create buzz and make and continue to elevate TNA. Not just for the fans, but for these potential partners that we’re all talking to. It’s helped us, it’s helped move things along.”

Silva also noted that while August tends to be a slow period in the media industry, the company is still actively working toward finalizing a deal — ideally before the end of the year.

“Traditionally, August is a bit of a slow month in the media space. A lot of people are taking time off and getting kids back to school. We’ll continue to push in August and as we get into September and drive to Bound For Glory, hopefully we’ll be able to get a handshake together and if we need to dot the Is and cross the Ts as we get through the year, we’ll do that. That’s what we’re working on. It’s tough. Every single day it’s what I worry about and I’m going to keep doing it until we get that right deal that continues to expand the audience for TNA.”

Silva pointed out that TNA’s current numbers on AXS TV, YouTube, and TNA+ are all trending upward, which has been key in demonstrating the brand’s potential to possible network partners.

“Having said that, with everything we’re doing right now with AXS, YouTube, TNA+, the numbers are all up and we continue to grow. That’s just part of what you have to do to show potential partners the power and the potential of TNA Wrestling.”

TNA’s next major event, Bound for Glory, takes place on October 12, and Silva is hoping to have a clearer TV future for the company in place as they head into the final stretch of 2025.
