TNA Wrestling Announces Plans For Streaming Service
Impact Wrestling will become TNA Wrestling again and in doing so, the company plans to relaunch its streaming service.
It was in October 2023 when Impact Wrestling announced that they would be changing their name back to the TNA Wrestling brand that they used from 2002 to 2017.
The revamped TNA brand will launch in 2024 with Hard To Kill on Saturday, January 13, with a second night of action-packed professional wrestling – the “Snake Eyes Extravaganza Show” – at The Palms on Sunday, January 14.
Two big names will be part of the January 14 tapings with TNA announcing that IWPG legend Kazuchika Okada will be there along with Will Ospreay, who will start with AEW in March 2024.
For the past several years, fans of the TNA/IMPACT product have been able to watch content from the company’s archive on a service called Impact Plus. Now that the TNA name is back, the company announced a change to that service.
What Will Fans Receive If They Subscribe to TNA Plus?
In an announcement made on the Impact/TNA Wrestling website, fans will have the option of paying a monthly fee of $9.99 or an annual fee of $95.99 per year for various events along with the archive.
An interesting aspect of the deal is that Endeavor Streaming is involved. Endeavor is the company that recently bought WWE to create the TKO Group that merged WWE with UFC. The full details are below.
