TNA President Carlos Silva said in his first interview since
the AMC announcement that the partnership with NXT will
continue moving forward.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Silva said it’s also thanks
to WWE that they got this television deal with AMC and
they’re looking forward to pay it back by offering NXT stars
a bigger platform than AXS TV when they appear on TNA in the
future.
“The storylines, the things we’re doing together, they’re
just going to continue to grow into 2026,” he said. “The
last five, six months have been awesome. And I think there’s
more to come. And 2026 is just going to build off of that
and be even bigger.”
Discussing the new deal, Silva said that it was a team
effort and there was ups and downs and moments where they
thought it could slip away.
“But I think AMC was really excited about it, too. They’re
getting into the live sports entertainment business. They’ve
always built great characters. We know that,” Silva said.
“And now I think together we’re going to give them something
every Thursday night, 52 weeks a year. That is that is so
difficult in the entertainment and sports business to do.
And it’s going to change everything.”
Silva added this new deal will change the way fans get and
see the product and it’s going to bring in new levels of
energy to the talent who compete every week.
