Backstage Update on Upcoming TNA Contracts Expiring Soon, Why TNA Prefers Signing Short-Term Deals

As noted, it looks like the contracts of multiple TNA stars and champions are due to expire soon. During the latest Fightful Select Answers Q&A with Sean Ross Sapp on the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast, he had an update on the expiring TNA contracts.

Sapp reported that at least a dozen TNA contracts are slated to expire in the next three months, and it remains to be seen who is expected to re-up with the promotion. He added that fans will see more TNA contracts coming to their end in the next few months, as the company has been signing talents to more short-term deals as of late.

Additionally, Fightful Select Answers Q&A notes that TNA Wrestling has been happy with how the short-term deals have worked out, and they’ve been going well for the company as of late. Sapp noted that the short-term contracts give the talent more options.

Whose Contracts Are Due Up Soon in TNA Wrestling?

As previously reported, the contracts of reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) are due to expire in November. The Hardys won the NXT Tag Team Titles from DarkState last week at the NXT vs. TNA Showdown event. At last Sunday’s Bound for Glory, they defeated Team 3D in One Final Table Match, marking the Hall of Famers’ retirement from the ring.

Additionally, TNA President Carlos Silva recently shared a message on social media, noting that he looks “forward to many years of positive vibes together” with The Hardys.

Also, the contracts of reigning TNA Knockouts Champions, The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Billie Kay), are due to expire soon post-Bound for Glory. They successfully defended their titles as well last Sunday at Bound for Glory. It was reported earlier that TNA is interested in retaining The IInspiration, and a new deal is expected to be signed with the reigning champs.
