TNA’s AMC Debut Viewership May Be Unknown After Possible Data Error

The reported viewership for TNA Wrestling’s big AMC debut on January 15, 2026 is suddenly being called into question—just after the numbers were first cited by various outlets.

Earlier today it was reported that the premiere episode of TNA iMPACT! on AMC drew 95,000 viewers with a 0.04 rating in the key 18–49 demographic, according to Programming Insider. The data immediately sparked debate, with many fans calling the figure surprisingly low for a show debuting on a far more widely distributed network than its previous home on AXS TV.

But now that number may not be accurate at all. In a correction posted to Twitter, Wrestlenomics issued an important clarification:

“CORRECTION: Programming Insider doesn't show a total viewership (P2+) number. The P2+ number reported earlier is likely incorrect. Programming Insider only appears to have various demographic data available only at this time, not total viewers.”

This update throws the previously reported 95,000 viewer figure into doubt, since the source in question never actually listed a P2+ number—the standard metric for total viewership across all age groups. As of now, the only confirmed data for the episode is the 0.04 rating in the 18–49 demographic.

Given the level of promotion TNA’s AMC relaunch received—and the fact that AMC reaches significantly more homes than AXS—many expected the premiere to draw a larger audience. But without a verified total viewership number, it’s impossible to say how well (or poorly) the debut actually performed on linear TV.

The episode itself featured major moments including Mike Santana reclaiming the TNA World Championship from Frankie Kazarian and the official debut of Cora Jade (now going by Elayna Black) aligning with Sonya Deville.

Until more accurate data emerges from Nielsen or another tracking service, any judgment on the success of TNA’s AMC premiere will remain speculative.

Do you believe the real number is being underreported—or could TNA’s move to AMC still be finding its footing with viewers? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
