TNA Wrestling Stars Exit as AMC Premiere Drops Championship Match
Recent developments have occurred in TNA Wrestling, particularly as the company prepares to debut on AMC Network. Notable departures have shaken up the roster, with the entire Rascalz faction now free agents.
Key Departures from TNA Wrestling
The Rascalz, which includes Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Myron Reed, and Dezmond Xavier, have completed their contracts with TNA Wrestling. Reports indicate that Wentz and Miguel opted not to extend their contracts, while Reed has stated his availability as a free agent on social media. Xavier, who rejoined the group late last year, did not secure a long-term agreement.
Impact on Upcoming Programming
These exits have already affected TNA’s scheduling. Myron Reed was anticipated to challenge Leon Slater for the TNA X Division Championship on January 15. However, this match has been removed from promotional content, indicating its cancellation.
Efforts to Stabilize the Roster
Despite the recent departures, TNA Wrestling is taking steps to strengthen its lineup. Cedric Alexander has signed a new multi-year deal with the organization. Additionally, veteran Cody Deaner will continue performing under his masked Home Town Man persona.
Upcoming Match Highlights on AMC
The inaugural episode of iMPACT! on AMC will feature exciting matches. Frankie Kazarian is set to defend the TNA World Championship against Mike Santana. Bully Ray will make a special guest appearance as a commentator, and AJ Styles is also scheduled to join the broadcast.
