TNA Wrestling, the original name of Impact Wrestling before the company rebranded in 2017, will make its return on January 13, 2024, at TNA Hard To Kill, as announced by Scott D’Amore at Bound For Glory.
The Impact exec discussed the process during a media scrum on Tuesday.
“This was first formulated early in 2023. The circle kept expanding as the year went on about who was inside that circle and in the know. I remember having this conversation earlier in the year and saying, ‘it’s a miracle if we see spring without this getting out.’ The fact that it was kept under wraps until that night, to me, is truly special. It’s a testament to the individuals we have in this company, on camera and behind the scenes. It meant a lot to everybody to create that special moment,” he said.
D’Amore also confirmed that new title designs will be part of the rebrand.
“We have all new championship belts. I know people have talked about returning to this design or that design, there are some amazing designs. The belts will continue to evolve and change, but we felt it was important that, we’re TNA Wrestling, but we’re still moving forward. We have all new championship belts and those will be revealed as we lead up to Hard to Kill. One of the things to address is, all the current IMPACT Champions and that lineage will continue. We’re not crowning new champions. Fans will be excited to see the belts. We wanted to give them something new and something we push forward with into a new era,” he said.
