For Immediate Release
TORONTO | CHICAGO – October 21, 2023 – Anthem Sports & Entertainment, a global, multi-platform media company, announced today that its professional wrestling company, IMPACT Wrestling, is returning to its iconic Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling name, at “Hard To Kill,” its first pay-per-view event of 2024, which will originate for the first time ever from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The announcement was made Saturday night at the end of the “Bound For Glory” pay-per-view, which aired live around the world in front of a standing-room-only crowd in Chicago.
TNA will launch 2024 with Hard To Kill on Saturday, January 13, with a second night of action-packed professional wrestling – the “Snake Eyes Extravaganza Show” – at The Palms on Sunday, January 14. The Snake Eyes Extravaganza Show will be taped to air on the company’s flagship weekly TV show, Impact!, airing every Thursday night on AXS TV (8 p.m. EST).
“We still hear the ‘TNA’ chants wherever we go,” said IMPACT Wrestling President Scott D’Amore. “Fans have longed for TNA Wrestling, so that’s what we’re bringing back in 2024: TNA Wrestling, we’re back!”
Tickets for both Hard To Kill on January 13 and the Snake Eyes Extravaganza Show on January 14 will be on-sale on Friday, November 4, at www.Impactwrestling.com
Company officials confirmed that the new year will launch a new-look TNA Wrestling that runs from the entrance ramp to turnbuckles in the ring to larger, more prestigious venues and much, much more. Further details on the TNA Wrestling return will be revealed on Tuesday, October 24, when D’Amore sits down for an exclusive interview with Tom Hannifan that will air live on IMPACT’s Facebook page, starting at 12noon EST. The Q&A will include questions from worldwide pro wrestling media.
TNA Wrestling launched in the summer of 2002 and has long been known as the most innovative professional wrestling company in the world. TNA is known for its high-risk, action-packed X Division matches that have run with one simple motto: It’s not about weight limits, it’s about no limits. 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.

The road to Bound For Glory enters its final stretch. What will happen just 48 hours away from the biggest event of the year? Find out on an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.
Before Trinity defends the Knockouts World Title against Mickie James in an epic first-time-ever dream match at Bound For Glory, both champion and challenger will unite for tag team action. This Thursday, Trinity and James face off against one of their fiercest rivals in IMPACT Wrestling, “The Quintessential Diva” Gisele Shaw and her bodyguard, Savannah Evans. While Trinity and James share nothing but respect for one another, will the heat of competition cause friction between them just two nights before the biggest match of their careers?
As Mike Bailey prepares to lock up with pro wrestling megastar Will Ospreay at Bound For Glory, he must first overcome a roadblock this Thursday. Standing in his way of the biggest event of the year is Samuray Del Sol, who is poised to continue his rise in IMPACT Wrestling. With the clock rapidly ticking down to Chicago, momentum is everything in what promises to be an adrenaline-pumping contest.
At Bound For Glory, Rhino, PCO, Moose and Steve Maclin will be unleashed in the no-rules, weapons-filled Monster’s Ball. But before that, we get a preview of what’s to come in IMPACT tag team action. Rhino will join forces with PCO for the first time as a duo since 1997, as they battle the self-proclaimed “Most Professional Wrestling Gods”, Moose and Brian Myers. Who will fire the first shot in this hard-hitting tag team showdown?
Former friends turned bitter enemies will go to war when Crazzy Steve collides with Black Taurus in a No Disqualification match. After becoming unhinged during an emotional sit-down interview with Tom Hannifan, Steve has targeted his enemies with the use of disturbing weaponry – a fork. Two weeks ago, Steve brutally assaulted Digital Media Champion Tommy Dreamer until Taurus came to his aid. This Thursday, the fork and anything else that these combatants can get their hands on will be legal.
After being dethroned as Digital Media Champion by Tommy Dreamer, Kenny King has been incensed on reclaiming his title. The only problem is, management hasn’t granted him his contractually-obligated rematch. This Thursday, King looks to make a bold statement when he goes one-on-one with someone who played a role in his demise as Digital Media Champion, the “Redhead Rebel”, Heath.
The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:15pm ET exclusively on YouTube, IMPACT Plus (live player) and Facebook. Following the shocking development that KiLynn King was the one who took out her own tag team partner, Taylor Wilde, King will lock up with Jody Threat on BTI. Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.
