-Spike TV has repotedly lost interest in picking up TNA programming. There is no reason as to why, but this leaves WGN as the only alternate to FSN for TNA. TNA is also hoping to get a better time slot out of FSN, but FSN hasn't been interested in moving them as of yet.

-TNA's lease with Universal Studios in Orlando will be up this June.

-TNA has reportedly been late paying some of their talent. Nobody within TNA is taking responsibilty for it, but rather placing the blame on Panda Energy. Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman and Monty Brown are among those who are still owed money. It is thought to be a mistake that TNA isn't paying Monty Brown on time, as his contract is up later this year, and everyone thinks Brown and AJ Styles, who's contract is also up later this year, will be offered spots with the WWE. If top level guys like this aren't kept happy, there isn't much reason for them not to make the jump to the WWE.
