TNA Looking To Lock In Key Talent Ahead of AMC Launch

TNA Wrestling may be gearing up for its biggest visibility boost in years with its new AMC television deal, but the company has some important business to take care of behind the scenes before that January premiere.

According to a new report from Fightful Select, TNA is preparing to open formal contract talks next week with several wrestlers whose deals are approaching expiration. Multiple talents apparently held off on negotiating until the TV situation was settled, but with the AMC partnership now official, the company is moving quickly to secure its roster.

One name reportedly on TNA’s radar is former AEW talent Bear Bronson, who is being looked at as a potential signing ahead of the AMC debut. At the same time, a handful of current roster members will be free agents by the end of the month unless new agreements get finalized. That group includes Jody Threat, Mustafa Ali, The Hardys, and The IInspiration, among others.

TNA is also still featuring several notable wrestlers who aren’t currently under contract—most prominently Dezmond Xavier (formerly WWE’s Wes Lee), Matt Cardona, and Dolph Ziggler. Their status gives TNA flexibility, but it also adds urgency as the promotion tries to solidify a strong, stable roster heading into 2026.

Before the AMC era officially begins on January 15, 2026, at the Curtis Culwell Center in Texas, TNA has a packed weekend ahead with Final Resolution and two additional tapings. With major TV exposure on the horizon, expect contract news—and possibly some surprise signings—to heat up in the coming weeks.
