WWE SmackDown airs live tonight on the USA Network in the United States and Netflix for international fans from the Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State University.
TNA Wrestling could be heading toward one of its biggest business moves in years, according to none other than Matt Hardy.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the veteran star opened up about what fans can expect from a “Broken Rules Match,” describing it as a chaotic, anything-goes environment where “the standard rules in a pro wrestling match are broken.” Hardy said the concept lets the action spill anywhere in the arena — a true showcase of the unpredictable, high-energy style he’s become known for.
But Hardy’s biggest revelation came when he shifted gears to talk about TNA’s future behind the scenes. The former World Champion hinted that a new media rights deal could be finalized and announced before the end of the year, potentially changing the company’s exposure in a major way.
“I think some very exciting things are on the horizon,” Hardy said. “From what I’m hearing, by the end of this year, maybe the start of next, there’s going to be a new media rights deal announced. It’s going to be huge for TNA.”
Hardy added that the company has seen real growth recently — from attendance and ticket sales to pay-per-view buy rates — and credited the locker room’s hard work for that momentum.
TNA currently airs weekly programming, it’s flagship show IMPACT currently airs on AXS TV. TNA has been rebuilding its brand over the past year with a mix of established veterans and rising stars. If Hardy’s comments prove true, a new broadcast deal could give the promotion the platform it needs to reach a larger audience and continue that upward trend heading into 2026.

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently opened up about his time in TNA Wrestling and offered a surprisingly honest comparison to his legendary WWE career. Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Angle revealed that despite his iconic run in WWE, he believes his best in-ring work came after he made the jump to TNA in 2006.
“I had a better career, too. I had better matches,” Angle admitted. “That’s really hard to say because I had some great ones in WWE, but I came into my own [in TNA]. You don’t really hit your stride until six or seven years in, and that’s right when I left WWE.”
Angle said that joining TNA reignited his passion for wrestling, especially given the wealth of fresh talent on the roster at the time. He went on to list several of his top opponents, including AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Bobby Roode, and James Storm, among others.
“When I left WWE, I was salivating because there was so much untapped talent in TNA,” he said. “I couldn’t wait to get down there. I take pride in that period — I think I had a better career there.”
Angle also noted that his move to TNA seemed to spark an influx of big names from WWE joining the company, such as Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan, which helped TNA build one of its strongest rosters ever.
“Once I went to TNA, I felt a whole slew followed me… we had a lot of good years and great talent,” Angle said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished.”
Angle didn’t shy away from discussing his ongoing health struggles, a result of decades of intense physical competition. The Olympic gold medalist shared that while some surgeries have helped, others haven’t gone as planned.
“I had my knees replaced, and that was a blessing — no pain there,” Angle said. “But I had surgery on my lower back, and that didn’t work at all. What did help was core training. Not the surgery — the training.”
However, Angle revealed he’s now facing another tough decision regarding his shoulders.
“My doctor told me shoulder replacement surgeries are a 50/50 deal,” he explained. “He suggested waiting a few years because technology’s improving. So for now, I’m holding off.”
Despite the setbacks, Angle continues to train and stay active, though he’s careful not to overdo it.
“I just go through the motions and keep my body in shape. I have to keep my weight down because my knees are only supposed to last 20 years — if I gain too much, that drops to 10.”
Kurt Angle’s legacy spans both WWE and TNA, but hearing him reflect so fondly on his time in the six-sided ring underscores just how important that chapter was to his career — and to the evolution of modern wrestling itself.
AEW Dynamite airs live tonight on TBS and HBO Max from the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.
Halloween Havoc is about to get a whole lot more “delightful.” The Hardys are bringing the chaos of the multiverse with them. Matt and Jeff Hardy will defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against DarkState — but this won’t be a standard title defense. The bout will be contested under Broken Rules, which essentially means no rules, no limits, and pure Hardy-brand insanity.
The announcement came in cinematic fashion straight from the Hardy Compound in Cameron, North Carolina. During a pre-taped promo from DarkState, the screen flickered and distorted before cutting to the familiar grounds of the Compound. There, fans saw Matt, Jeff, Señor Benjamin, Reby Hardy, and even the Hardy kids take part in a chilling ritual at the Lake of Reincarnation.
Moments later, the brothers emerged from the water transformed once more into Broken Matt and Brother Nero, signaling the long-awaited return of their most eccentric personas. In classic Hardy fashion, Matt declared, “State of Dark, you have broken the Broken Hardys. DarkState, you only broke us to make us stronger!”
This marks the first time the Broken Hardys have appeared in NXT under their infamous gimmick, and the timing couldn’t be better. Halloween Havoc has long been known for its spooky flair and over-the-top theatrics, making it the perfect stage for a Hardy resurrection.
Expect chaos, creativity, and maybe even a few lawnmowers of doom when the Broken Hardys defend their gold against DarkState under Broken Rules. One thing’s for sure — the universe of deletion has officially collided with NXT.

AEW’s home on television could be facing another round of uncertainty after a surprising update from Warner Bros. Discovery.
Company CEO David Zaslav revealed in a press release that Warner Bros. Discovery has received multiple buyout offers — some aiming to purchase the entire corporation, while others are only interested in certain divisions, such as Warner Bros. or Discovery Global. Zaslav noted that the company is “considering all options” as it maps out its future direction.
The current plan for Warner Bros. Discovery to split into two entities — Warner Bros. and Discovery Global — remains on track for mid-2026. However, with these new offers on the table, that plan could shift dramatically. Whether the media giant decides to sell off parts of the company, go through with the planned division, or pursue an entirely different route, major changes seem inevitable.
This development comes not long after Warner reportedly turned down a buyout attempt from Paramount-Skydance, adding even more intrigue to the situation. Naturally, wrestling fans are wondering what all this means for All Elite Wrestling, whose flagship shows — Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision — currently air on TNT and TBS.
If Warner’s ownership changes hands or the company restructures, AEW’s television deal could be impacted. While there’s no immediate sign of trouble, the uncertainty has definitely raised eyebrows across the wrestling industry.
As the media landscape continues to shift, AEW finds itself once again at the mercy of corporate maneuvering. Whether the promotion remains part of Warner’s long-term plans or has to explore other network options will be a story to watch closely heading into 2026.

Company Continues to Execute on Previously Announced Separation into Two Distinct, Leading Media Companies
Process Follows Unsolicited Interest from Multiple Parties for the Entire Company and Warner Bros.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — While Warner Bros. Discovery (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WBD) continues to advance its previously announced separation of Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, its Board of Directors today announced it has initiated a review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, in light of unsolicited interest the Company has received from multiple parties for both the entire company and Warner Bros.
Through this process, the Warner Bros. Discovery Board will evaluate a broad range of strategic options, which will include continuing to advance the Company’s planned separation to completion by mid-2026, a transaction for the entire company, or separate transactions for its Warner Bros. and/or Discovery Global businesses. As part of the review, the Company will also consider an alternative separation structure that would enable a merger of Warner Bros. and spin-off of Discovery Global to our shareholders.
“We continue to make important strides to position our business to succeed in today’s evolving media landscape by advancing our strategic initiatives, returning our studios to industry leadership, and scaling HBO Max globally. We took the bold step of preparing to separate the Company into two distinct, leading media companies, Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, because we strongly believed this was the best path forward,” said David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Zaslav added, “It’s no surprise that the significant value of our portfolio is receiving increased recognition by others in the market. After receiving interest from multiple parties, we have initiated a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives to identify the best path forward to unlock the full value of our assets.”
“Our decision to initiate this review underscores the Board’s commitment to considering all opportunities to determine the best value for our shareholders,” added Samuel A. Di Piazza, Jr., Chair of the Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors. “We continue to believe that our planned separation to create two distinct, leading media companies will create compelling value. That said, we determined taking these actions to broaden our scope is in the best interest of shareholders.”
There is no deadline or definitive timetable set for completion of the strategic alternatives review process. Other than the separation transaction that is already underway, there can be no assurance that this process will result in the Company pursuing a transaction or other outcome. Warner Bros. Discovery does not intend to make any further announcements regarding the review of strategic alternatives unless and until the Board approves a specific transaction or otherwise determines further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.
Allen & Company, J.P. Morgan and Evercore are serving as financial advisors to Warner Bros. Discovery and Wachtell Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP are serving as legal counsel.”
