Other Expired TNA Wrestling Deals

TNA is reportedly hopeful that they will keep Alexander, who performed in the Call Your Shot gauntlet match at "Bound For Glory."

TNA Wrestling appears to be on the verge of a new television deal, although nothing has been made official at this time. The company doesn't have a new episode of "iMPACT" scheduled until Nov. 13 at Full Sail University. The promotion appears to be airing special behind-the-scenes footage and in-studio interviews to fill airtime before returning to its regular programming.
