Total Nonstop Action Wrestling — Cyborg Score 5/10
Mixed
Professional Wrestling Entertainment / Sports Entertainment
Strategic Profile
TNA quickly built a reputation for innovation, introducing a six-sided ring, placing a spotlight on its high-energy X Division, which featured athletic, no-weight-limit competition, and blending homegrown talent like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels with former WWF/WWE and WCW veterans. In January 2024, TNA returned to its original brand identity following a 2017 rebrand as Impact Wrestling, and the company began a talent exchange with WWE's NXT brand in 2024.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Over the years, the company faced its share of financial struggles and management shakeups, but it remained one of the largest wrestling promotions in the United States throughout the 2000s and early 2010s. While TNA has maintained operations and recently returned to its original brand, it operates as a secondary player to WWE within its industry.
