TNA Wrestling and Sony Six have signed a long-term deal that will make the sports channel the exclusive home for all TNA content until 2022. This agreement anchors TNA with a major media company in the world's largest wrestling market outside of the US for the next seven years.

The partnership also includes a commitment to the discovery and development of talent from the Indian Sub-continent to join the TNA roster, following in the footsteps of Mahabali Shera, who last year became TNA's first ever Indian-born superstar.

Fans across the Indian Sub-continent can watch TNA's flagship show 'Impact Wrestling' every Monday night at 9 pm on Sony Six, with TNA Wrestling's Greatest Matches airing every Tuesday at 9 pm and TNA Xplosion each Wednesday at 9 pm. Sony Six also airs TNA's PPV and One Night Only events. TNA had joined the Sony Six line-up in the summer of 2013.
