AJ Styles Returning To TNA iMPACT For AMC Debut – AJ Styles is officially set to return to TNA Wrestling next week as the promotion launches a new era on national television.

TNA iMPACT will air live on the AMC Network for the first time on January 15, marking a major milestone for the company. As announced in December, the flagship weekly show will move to a new time slot, airing from 9–11 p.m. EST. To help make the debut stand out, TNA has confirmed that one of the most iconic names in the company’s history will be in attendance.

TNA announced on social media that AJ Styles will appear live at the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas, Texas, for the premiere episode on AMC. The appearance brings Styles back to the promotion where he became a household name and helped shape the identity of TNA during its formative years.

This will not be Styles’ first interaction with TNA in recent years, but it will be his first appearance on iMPACT since the promotion’s new television deal was finalized. Styles most recently appeared for TNA at Slammiversary, where he publicly endorsed X-Division Champion Leon Slater. That endorsement was followed by further crossover moments, including a tag team encounter involving Styles and Slater at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025.

The January 15 episode of iMPACT is already shaping up to be a loaded show beyond Styles’ appearance. The Hardys will team with Elijah to take on Order 4, continuing tensions that have been building for weeks. The TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship will also be on the line, with The IInspiration defending against The Elegance Brand. In addition, Frankie Kazarian is scheduled to defend the TNA World Championship against Mike Santana in a high-profile main event.

Styles’ return adds a major layer of intrigue to the night, especially given his deep history with the company and his current status as an active WWE superstar. His presence alone signals how significant the AMC debut is for TNA as it looks to expand its audience and establish momentum in 2026.
