TNA World Champion Mike Santana has discussed the current mindset of the TNA locker room and how it compares to other wrestling organizations' locker rooms.

Daria Rae revealed that she initially spoke with TNA President Carlos Silva shortly after her WWE contract expired in 2025, but felt it wasn't the right time to join the company. Rae later reached out to Silva again by coincidence just before TNA announced their AMC TV deal, leading to her signing with the promotion as an on-screen authority figure alongside Santino Marella. She officially debuted on the January 15 episode of TNA iMPACT on AMC.

Jade Cargill addressed criticism and media coverage on the Beyond the Bell podcast, responding to Jordynne Grace calling her championship run "untested" and discussion pushing for Grace to receive a WWE Women's Championship match. Cargill suggested that Grace has media relationships that influence coverage in her favor and stated that critics will complain regardless of her results, while also addressing reactions to her confident persona as a woman in wrestling.

Former WWE star Sonya Deville has revealed the length of her current TNA Wrestling contract and expressed her desire to extend the deal. Deville recently debuted on TNA Wrestling in an authority figure role.

KJ Orso, formerly known as Fuego Del Sol in AEW, debuted in TNA at Genesis. A new report has revealed details about his contract status with TNA following his appearance.

Bully Ray believes that TNA Wrestling's roster should start to believe more in themselves following the show's debut on AMC. He feels this is what the TNA locker room needs to do in the wake of their AMC debut.

According to Busted Open Radio's Dave LaGreca, AMC is extremely pleased with TNA Wrestling's debut episode on their network, despite negative feedback from online critics. This suggests the show met AMC's expectations, likely in terms of viewership or other network metrics. The positive network response could mean a stable future for TNA on AMC, regardless of some fan criticism.
