TNA President Carlos Silva on TNA Being In Active Talks With A Partner For Media Rights Deal for 2026 & Possibility of TNA Being Sold in Future

As noted before, TNA Wrestling is currently seeking a new media rights deal for around $10 million per year and is facing the potential of Anthem selling off their sports division if TNA continues to not be profitable as a company. TNA has been in talks with A&E and The CW for a potential new broadcast home for the company.

TV Insider held a recent interview with TNA President Carlos Silva. One of the topics discussed included Silva providing an update on the status of TNA’s current talks for a potential new television deal.

“We’re now in active negotiations with a partner, and we’re going to work through that. I can’t really put a timeline on how long that will take. The good news is the process has started. We’re no longer just talking to a bunch of people to sort of gauge interest. Now we have an interested partner and working through potentially a deal for 2026. It’s going to happen as soon as it can happen. We were working on it as recently as yesterday, exchanging papers and trying to figure it out. We’re excited about it and keep pushing it forward to get this over the finish line. It’s done when it’s over the finish line.”

Silva also gave his thoughts about his history of buying and selling companies and the potential of TNA being sold off to a new owner in the future.

“I have built up and sold a number of properties throughout my career. I think the key to all of that is having a great product. We’re going to keep building the product and keep building the audience and keep building the digital platforms and the social. We’re going to keep building our partnerships we have with WWE and NXT, which is great. That’s going to bring in sponsorships. We are going to keep building up the engine. If we do all that, yeah, there could definitely be people that come and knock on our door and say, “can we give you investment dollars?” Or they may say, “can we buy you?” But if we don’t build the product or make it great, none of that other stuff happens. That’s a great problem to have. And I’m happy to talk about that great problem as we continue to build TNA. Right now, we’re concentrating on getting through 2025, kill it at Bound for Glory, and then build the rest of the year so we can launch into 2026. Opportunities come your way when you’re healthy and have a great product.”
