TNA Wrestling Adds WWE-Style Production Credits During iMPACT AMC Debut

TNA Wrestling Adds WWE-Style Production Credits During iMPACT AMC Debut – TNA Wrestling quietly introduced a noticeable production change during the closing moments of Thursday Night iMPACT’s debut on AMC. While the focus of the night centered on in-ring action and major moments, the promotion opted to mirror a presentation element long associated with WWE.

Thursday Night iMPACT marked a strong showing for TNA Wrestling, beginning with AJ Styles opening the broadcast and ending with Mike Santana capturing his second World Championship in the main event. The episode also featured the debuts of two former WWE Superstars, adding further attention to the landmark broadcast on AMC.

As the show went off the air, viewers noticed that TNA included on-screen producer credits similar to those typically seen at the end of WWE programming. The end credits listed President Carlos Silva, Executive Producer George Veras, Head of Creative Hunter Johnston, Executive Vice President Eric Tompkins, and Head of Talent Relations Tommy Dreamer. This marked a departure from TNA’s usual presentation style and stood out to longtime viewers familiar with how the company typically wraps its broadcasts.

While the addition did not impact the in-ring product, it suggested a more polished, network-friendly approach as TNA enters this new phase on AMC. The move aligns with broader efforts to present iMPACT as a major weekly wrestling show following its network transition.

With the AMC debut now in the books, attention turns quickly to TNA Wrestling’s next major event. The Genesis pay-per-view is set to take place tomorrow from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, and features a stacked lineup across multiple divisions.

The announced card includes Ryan Nemeth facing Mara Sadé in an intergender match, a three-way bout between Cedric Alexander, Moose, and Joe Hendry, and singles matches pitting A. J. Francis against Rich Swann and Elijah against Mustafa Ali. The Hardys are scheduled to defend the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The Righteous, while JDC will meet Eddie Edwards in what has been billed as JDC’s retirement match.

Championship action continues with Léi Yǐng Lee defending the TNA Knockouts Championship against Zaria. In the main event, newly crowned champion Mike Santana puts the TNA World Championship on the line against Frankie Kazarian in a Texas Deathmatch.

Here is the full lineup for the show:
