Impact Wrestling to Rebrand Back to TNA Wrestling in 2024

Saturday’s Bound For Glory 2023 event for Impact Wrestling in Cicero, Illinois featured the official announcement of the return of TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Wrestling in 2024.

This announcement was made in a video that aired following the main event match between Josh Alexander and champion Alex Shelley for the Impact World Championship.

This video featured Chris Sabin, Jordynne Grace, Alex Shelley, Eric Young, Alisha Edwards, Eddie Edwards, Frankie Kazarian, and Josh Alexander meeting up in a backwoods location at night. They proceeded to talk about how people keep reminding them of the old days and the need for a change in professional wrestling by going back to where it all started for them and starting the next chapter. This led to Alexander opening a box that had the old TNA logo and a voice whispering “TNA Wrestling” followed by past clips from TNA’s history being shown.

It was announced that the official return of TNA Wrestling will be taking place at next year’s Hard To Kill event on January 13, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Stars of the X Division have included Chris Sabin, with a record 10 title reigns; A.J. Styles, the first-ever champion; along with Jay Lethal, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Petey Williams, Frankie Kazarian and Trey Miguel, among others.

TNA is also the home of the prestigious Knockouts Division, widely regarded as the best women’s division in all professional wrestling. The Knockouts Division features Trinity, Deonna Purrazzo, Mickie James, Jordynne Grace, Gisele Shaw, Masha Slamovich, KiLynn King, Jessicka and Courtney Rush, among others. Legendary past Knockouts include Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, The Beautiful People, Taya Valkyrie, ODB, Tara, Traci Brooks and so many others.

TNA Wrestling was the original name of Impact Wrestling from 2002 to 2017, first as NWA: TNA from 2002 to 2004.
