Impact will also occasionally take place on the road.
- TNA has launched a new “24/7” cross-platform initiative, where “cameras everywhere” programming will be incorporated into the Impact Wrestling show.
- TNA will be undergoing a “refreshed creative approach.”
- Several new characters will be coming to TNA soon.
