Jake Something TNA Contract Status Update

Following his Six-Man Tag Team match at TNA’s Slammiversary 2025 event, Jake Something recently removed “TNA” from his bio on Twitter. This quickly led to online speculation of Something being done with TNA and leaving the company.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that his sources stated that Something still has plenty of time left on his current contract with TNA.

Sapp reported that those spoken to stated that Something’s contract currently runs through at least Summer of 2026. Sapp also reported that Something had signed a three-year deal with TNA when he returned to the company in 2023.
