TNA Wrestling, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment subsidiary, is partnering with distributor Endeavor Streaming to create its own on-demand streaming service, TNA+, starting January 5.
The new streaming platform is powered by Endeavor Streaming, which owns the WWE and UFC Fight Pass. It promises to deliver an enhanced user experience for fans compared to its current app under the IMPACT Wrestling name. It will be accessible to fans across the top streaming platforms.
The TNA+ app goes live ahead of the brand’s Hard to Kill event held on January 13, the first pay-per-view match of 2024.
“This is truly an incredible opportunity for us as we forge into an exciting new chapter of the TNA legacy,” said Scott D’Amore, TNA’s wrestling president. “We are proud to partner with Endeavor Streaming on this initiative, and we look forward to continuing to provide our fans with the absolute best in new, classic, and exclusive professional wrestling content, available to them anywhere, anytime, on their favorite devices, when TNA+ launches on January 5.”
After Anthem Sports & Entertainment bought a majority stake in the company in 2017, TNA changed its name to IMPACT Wrestling due to some controversy surrounding the original name’s similarities to a vulgar expression. During October’s Boud for Glory show on October 21, the company announced its decision to change back to its original moniker at the insistence of fans and company partners. It will continue running under the IMPACT Wrestling name until TNA+ launches next year.
Endeavor said it has no plans to buy out TNA Wrestling, and its involvement in the partnership is as a distribution partner only. With the launch of the new app, events will have a new look with an updated entrance ramp and turnbuckles in the ring, as well as events hosted at larger, “more prestigious” venues.”
The TNA+ app will launch with a dynamic look, expanded options, and increased functions to deliver the “ultimate premium sports streaming experience,” the company said. Fans can catch TNA’s flagship weekly TV show, tune in to exciting original content, watch wrestler-created series, and interact with some of TNA’s top stars.
TNA+ subscriptions have two options. The Special Attraction membership grants access to the entire TNA/IMPACT Wrestling library and all TNA+ special pay-per-view programming for $9.99 a month or $95.99 a year. The World Championship tier includes everything the Special Attraction package offers and the 4-tent pole pay-per-view events for $219.99 a year.
