List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling personnel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) – is a professional wrestling promotion based in Nashville, Tennessee as a subsidiary of Anthem Sports & Entertainment.[1]

TNA personnel consists of professional wrestlers, managers, play-by-play and color commentators, ring announcers, interviewers, referees, trainers, producers, script writers, and various other positions. Executives are listed as well.

Active wrestlers and on-screen talent appear on TNA's flagship weekly show Impact, pay-per-views and at untelevised live events. Personnel are organized below by their role in TNA. Their ring name is on the left, and their real name is on the right. TNA refers to its female performers as "Knockouts".

TNA has partnerships with various national and international promotions, such as Japan's New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW),[2] and Mexico's Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). As such, wrestlers from these companies may also make periodic appearances on TNA programming, and TNA recognizes when one of their wrestlers holds a championship from a partner promotion. In May 2024 TNA established a working relationship with WWE, starting with talent exchanges occurring between TNA and WWE's NXT brand.[3][4]
