From its inception, TNA had been considered the second-largest promotion in the United States behind WWE, a position it would hold for most of the 2000s and early 2010s.<\/p>\n<p>By 2019, the promotion was viewed to have recovered through its sustained international distribution. The purchase by its parent company of AXS TV subsequently began carrying the promotion&#8217;s programming. TNA is currently seen as the third-largest wrestling promotion in the United States.<\/p>\n<h2>The Shows<\/h2>\n<p>After two years of weekly PPVs, in May 2004, TNA introduced its weekly flagship, iMPACT! With the show&#8217;s premi\u00e8re, TNA introduced a six-sided wrestling ring, which would later be changed to a classic four-sided one. With the AMC era, the name will become &#8220;Thursday Night iMPACT.&#8221; TNA Xplosion is a secondary weekly show. New episodes premiere on Fridays on TNA+, and are uploaded the following Tuesday to TNA&#8217;s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>The company has its &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/04\/09\/tna-wrestling-announces-its-full-2026-live-events-schedule\/\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Big Four PLEs<\/a><\/span>,&#8221; TNA Genesis, TNA Rebellion, TNA Slammiversary, and TNA Bound for Glory. Slammiversary celebrates the anniversary of the promotion&#8217;s first event. TNA Bound for Glory was created to serve as the company&#8217;s flagship PPV event, similar to WWE&#8217;s WrestleMania. Every month, TNA Wrestling airs a live TNA+ Special Event, like Victory Road or Emergence.<\/p>\n<h2>How and When to Watch<\/h2>\n<p>Thursday Night iMPACT! airs every Thursday at 9 PM EST on <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amc.com\/\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMC<\/a><\/span> in the USA and <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sportsnet<\/a> <\/span>in Canada.

WWE stars can appear on TNA programming, and TNA stars appear on WWE shows. They can also hold titles from the other promotion.<\/p>\n<h2>What Makes TNA Wrestling Different<\/h2>\n<p>One of the cornerstones of TNA is the popular X Division, known for its high-flying, high-risk matches. The X Division has long carried a simple slogan: \u201cIt\u2019s not about weight limits \u2026 it\u2019s about no limits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TNA Wrestling has its unique matches. The <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ThisIsTNA\/status\/2011211658941620481\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ultimate X<\/a><\/span> <span>is the signature match of the X Division. The Call Your Shot Gauntlet match allows the winner to earn a future Championship match (for the title, and at the time of their choosing) in the year to come. The Monsters Ball and Barbed Wire Massacre matches are epic hardcore bouts, with no disqualification and the usage of weapons encouraged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another prominent feature of TNA Wrestling is its Women\u2019s division, affectionately known as the Knockouts Division, which has spotlighted the skills of such legends as Mickie James, Awesome Kong, Gail Kim, Angelina Love, and Velvet Sky, among others.<\/p>\n<p>TNA Wrestling has long been recognized for its captivating characters and adrenaline-pumping action. &#8220;Nobody does professional wrestling like TNA.&#8221; Now, it&#8217;s your time to cross the line.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Have you heard the news?
