WWE Partnership Credited for Helping Land AMC Deal for TNA

TNA Wrestling is about to take a major leap forward—and Moose is giving credit where it’s due.

As TNA prepares to premiere Thursday Night IMPACT on AMC on January 15, one of the company’s top stars is opening up about how their working relationship with WWE played a key role in getting them to this level.

Speaking with Scott Mitchell of PWMania, Moose didn’t hold back when asked about WWE’s influence on TNA’s resurgence.

“Oh man, I honestly believe without the working relationship that we have with NXT, we probably wouldn’t be in the position we are to be having this AMC deal,” Moose admitted.

WWE and TNA made headlines in January 2025 when they announced a strategic partnership that allowed talent exchanges, creative crossovers, and increased visibility for both brands. WWE NXT stars such as Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Jacy Jayne, and Je’Von Evans have all appeared on TNA programming. And recently, WWE has sent over Charlie Dempsey, Stacks, and Lexis King as part of the growing collaboration. From Moose’s perspective, the exposure TNA wrestlers received on WWE platforms has been game-changing.

“Because WWE has a big platform, every time one of our talents goes there, we’re seen by millions of people,” he said. “After our performance there, those viewers who watch their show, if they like a guy like me or Santana or Leon, they will tune in to see what we’re doing.”

Looking ahead, Moose believes the AMC deal will only elevate things further—and expects WWE to continue sending even bigger names their way.

“I believe now that we’re on a bigger network, they’re going to send us bigger stars because it will be seen by more eyes.”

TNA’s partnership with WWE has already brought in fresh matchups and massive cross-promotional energy. With AMC viewership in play, Moose sees the momentum only building.
