TNA just announced a new TV deal, their biggest in 11 years, and will launch on AMC on January 15.

Now, the company has a lot of talent to retain.

Fightful Select has reported that The Rascalz, Steve Maclin, AJ Francis, Jake Something, Jody Threat, Mustafa Ali all had contracts coming up within a one month period for TNA. There have already been some conversations, but with others, not so much.

In addition, tag team champions The IInspiration's deals expired after Bound For Glory, as did Cedric Alexander. So TNA has a heavy slate of talent to get re-signed. There are also talent like Rich Swann and Matt Cardona who have not signed contracts since joining TNA.

Fightful Select is told that a number of conversations are expected to happen over the next week regarding the contracts coming due, and possible extensions moving forward. A couple of talent told Fightful that they wanted to wait until the new TV deal was announced before they start negotiating.

Fightful learned that TNA had been eyeing new talent such as Bear Bronson, among others as well.

Sean I guess the biggest question to be answered hopefully this week. Is the 30 million that’s been added around 10 million a year for three years or 30 million a year

There is absolutely no chance that TNA Wrestling will be able to afford all those people. I can easily see the Rascalz, the Inspiration, Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander all head to AEW.

Steve Maclin will also probably head over to AEW/ROH.

Predictions: TNA Retains Steve Maclin, AJ Francis & Mustafa Ali TNA signs The Iinspiration, Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann to new deals Matt Cardona continues to keep his freedom, barring being offered a main event spot in TNA The Rascalz enter free agency, AEW or WWE are possible landing spots but I lean AEW I also think Bear Bronson ends up under a new, post-TV Deal TNA Deal. I think we'll see AEW not re-sign a few lower carders who have a lot of TV experience, who'd be a benefit to TNA long-term, whether or not they'd rise up the card. This might also happen with NXT talent who don't get renewed, but I think they'll be more selective with that crop. Also, I think Mike Santana goes to WWE, likely in a Joe Hendry-esque timeline. Slow transition.
