Impact Wrestling Announces The Return Of TNA At Bound For Glory

A big announcement was made during Saturday night’s Impact Wrestling pay-per-view, Bound For Glory. Impact Wrestling will be going back to its original Total Nonstop Action (TNA) name. The rebranding will start on January 13, 2024, with the Hard to Kill pay-per-view.

Below is the announcement video that aired at the end of Bound For Glory. The video features several present and past names including, Eric Young, Frankie Kazarian, Josh Alexander, Gisele Shaw, Knockouts World Champion Trinity, Impact World Champion Alex Shelley, 10-time Impact X-Division Champion Chris Sabin, and the Impact World Tag Team Champions Ace Austin and Chris Bey.

In the promotion’s first two years, it was known as NWA: Total Nonstop Action. It was in 2004 that it dropped the NWA part and was simply known as TNA. The name would last until 2017 when the company officially rebranded as Impact Wrestling — though, that same year, it was also known as Global Force Wrestling (GFW) for a short span, before rebranding back to Impact Wrestling. That’s just the short history of the company. It’s also worth noting, that while fans have to wait until next year for the official rebranding, TNA t-shirts are already available for purchase.

Besides the TNA announcement, Bound For Glory also saw NJPW star and IWGP United States Champion Will Ospreay in action — he defeated Mike Bailey. There was a surprise appearance from former AEW star Sonny Kiss during the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match. The winner of that match was Jordynne Grace.

  1. It’s time to “Cross the line” any time we want from now on. And you you know what we need to bring back? The TNA letters, the asylum match, six sided ring, six sided steel Cage aka six sides of steel, TNA Xplosion, TNA chants, etc. Let’s bring it all back forever. TNA and AEW should partner with ROH, CMLL, Pro With NOAH, Lucha Libre AAA, and NJPW with all other private held wrestling promotions. Heck, let’s bring back TNA Home Video, TNA Hall of Fame and ShopTNA. Let’s start having shows in the TNA asylum again like an every now and then type of thing. Larger venues for TNA would be awesome. Keep down the smaller venues as an every now and then type of thing as well. TNA is back forever and it’s all thanks to Scott D’ Amore and TNA originals like Motor City Machine Guns, Frankie Kazarian and Eric “Showtime” Young.

    I hope TNA inducts the ECW Originals into the TNA Hall of Fame someday.

    Future TNA Hall of Famers:

    ECW Originals:
    Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Balls Mahoney, Raven, Mick Foley, Jerry Lynn, Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Team 3D, Brother Runt, Stevie Richards, Mustafa Saed, Bill Alfonso, Kid Kash, Terry Funk, Taz, Al Snow, 2 Cold Scorpio, and Rhino. The ECW Originals need to be in the TNA Hall of Fame. All of them.

    Why not bring back all of those familiar faces from the past along with all others?

    Like Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, The Hardy Boyz, Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Ric Flair, why not bring Jeff Jarrett because he’s the founder of TNA.

    Let’s partner with AEW, ROH, NJPW, CMLL, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Lucha Libre AAA and all other private held wrestling companies.
