TNA Wrestling star Mike Santana has addressed TNA’s move to the AMC Network next month – which will be known as “Thursday Night iMPACT!” – and his initial reaction when the news broke.
As first announced on back on December 2, TNA Wrestling will begin a new partnership and media partner when they debut on AMC network in 2026. The debut episode will take place on Thursday, January 15 with a LIVE show.
Speaking with Sports Jedi Network, Santana said:
“It was more of a ‘Finally, the work paid off’, and it’s going to pay off and finally more people are going to see the hard work and dedication that goes into TNA and that TNA brings to the table.
“I’ve always said TNA for a long time has been like a hidden gem. A lot of people didn’t have access to it because it’s not available on a major channel or this or that. There’s always been something. But now there’s no excuse.
“Now there’s nothing stopping us other than ourselves. And I think we’re going into an amazing time and an amazing era, and the fact that more people are going to be able to see everything is insane.”
Full interview:
Mike Santana is scheduled to challenge Frankie Kazarian for the TNA World Title at the upcoming Genesis PPV on January 17th.
