Mike Santana believes TNA Wrestling is moving in the right direction following its transition to AMC earlier this year.
TNA’s flagship show TNA iMPACT! began airing on AMC on January 15, and since the move, viewership has remained steady between 230,000 and 250,000. Santana, who won the TNA World Championship for the second time on the debut episode on AMC, spoke about the overall mindset within the locker room.
“I think it’s been going great, like the numbers have been going up and they’ve been consistent, so that’s always a good thing, right? And I think everyone has maintained that mindset of we want to do everything that we can to continue elevating the brand and elevating the show. And I think the beauty of our locker room is that everyone has that. Everyone is focused,” Santana said on Busted Open After Dark. “Yes, everyone has their own personal goals. Everyone has their own personal agendas. That’s the nature of it, right? But overall, everyone is doing what they need to do for the betterment of the brand.”
Santana acknowledged that while progress has been made, there is still room for improvement as the company continues to build momentum.
“Not everything is perfect. There’s going to be holes and things. But for where we’re at right now and what we’re doing and the consistency that we’re seeing with the numbers, I think we’re in a good space, and it’s up to us to continue that,” he added.
The TNA AMC viewership growth has been one of the key indicators of stability since the move, with consistent numbers helping to establish a foundation for further expansion.
In addition to its North American presence, TNA has also been working to grow internationally. The promotion recently secured a broadcast deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to air programming on Eurosport India, extending its reach to markets including India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
With steady ratings and a focused roster, Santana’s comments reflect confidence within the company as it looks to build on its current position.

WrestleMania season is here and in full bloom. But not all flowers (aka the buildup towards some of this weekend’s matches) are leaving a pleasant aroma, according to Bully Ray. To him, there’s one in particular that’s carrying an unbearable stench, and that’s the buildup towards the Undisputed WWE Championship between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. And while that match might be the showstopper of Night One on Saturday night, the way that TKO inserted Pat McAfee into the mix isn’t leaving a good impression on Ray. That said, he proposed a unique idea that could favor AEW President and CEO Tony Khan to generate growing eyes and ratings away from WWE and toward his promotion days before “The Super Bowl of Pro Wrestling” airs.
“Do you know what I would do if I was Tony Khan? If I was Tony Khan, I’d buy all of the remaining tickets to WrestleMania, and then go on TV and go, ‘This s*** is so awful, nobody’s going to it. I wouldn’t let you watch this s***…You’re welcome…I’m saving you from bad wrestling'” the WWE Hall of Famer envisioned during what he called a “double-barreled” rant on “Busted Open.”
It’s no secret that Khan threw his hat in the ring to acquire WWE when it was up for sale in 2023. While that offer is off the table for now, the proposition Ray mentioned could be a shoo-in for Khan to broadcast the importance and relevancy he has in this industry. But again, one can only dream. Switching back to reality, McAfee recently announced that tickets for Saturday’s show have been slashed 25 percent for fans still interested in attending “The Showcase of the Immortals.” However, that deal ends immediately after “WWE Raw” tonight.
