Two more talents have re-signed with TNA Wrestling as the company prepares for its debut on AMC this week.
Jody Threat revealed in an interview with PWInsider Elite that she has signed a new contract with the company, which has since been confirmed by TNA in a statement on their website:
Jody Threat has re-signed with TNA Wrestling, it was announced today.
A two-time TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion, the Toronto native has been a cornerstone of the TNA Knockouts division since 2023. She is now embarking on a singles career after splitting with her Spitfire tag team partner Dani Luna.
Jody broke news this morning during a live interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.
She said, “This year is really my opportunity to show everyone who Jody Threat is.
“So, I am excited to let you know that I have re-signed with TNA Wrestling to give myself the ability to move forward and prove what the Wild Child Jody Threat can do as a solo competitor.”
Speaking about her time in TNA so far, Jody added: “I am so thankful that this was the place that I signed with, for my first TV contract, a big deal for someone like me as a female Canadian. It’s been such a learning opportunity and I just feel so blessed.”
Jody Threat will be a key part of the new era of Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC which begins Thursday, January 15 at 9/8c LIVE from the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas, Texas, as well as the TNA Genesis pay-per-view in the same arena on Saturday, January 17. Limited tickets for both are on-sale now.
All the TNA stars will be in Dallas for two high-energy nights of pro wrestling, including TNA Wrestling World Champion Frankie Kazarian, TNA Knockouts World Champion Léi Yǐng Lee, TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater and the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions The IInspiration, plus Nic Nemeth, Moose, Mike Santana, Eric Young, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Indi Hartwell, Tessa Blanchard and many more.
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, John Skyler revealed he has also re-signed with TNA, talking about the negotiations alongside Tommy Dreamer, who works on the creative team for the company.
Dreamer: Tell ‘em about our big negotiation to renew your contract this year.
Skyler: Oh gosh, this is a great story. I guess I can talk about it now but yeah, I was getting ready to walk out my front door to go to the gym, and my cell service here at my apartment complex is actually terrible, so I looked down at my phone and see Tommy Dreamer’s calling me. So I stepped back into my apartment because I feel like this is probably important. I pick up the phone and I hear on the other end, ‘Yo. What’s going on?’ I said, ‘What’s up Tommy?’ He goes, ‘Is your contract coming up in December?’ And I said, ‘Yes, it is’ and he goes, ‘Cool, thanks for telling me. How about this amount of money to stay?’ And I said, ‘Sounds good to me.’ ‘Sweet. Thanks for negotiating. I’ll talk to you later,’ and that was it.
TNA IMPACT makes its debut on AMC on Thursday, January 15 with a live show emanating from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland (Dallas), Texas.
