TNA Announces January's UK Shows Will Be TV Tapings

TNA announced on Wednesday afternoon that all 3 shows on January’s Maximum Impact UK tour will be double-header television tapings. While this is seems like encouraging news on the surface, it does not mean that TNA has a TV deal in 2016 or that the shows will even air in the United States. Here’s the official announcement:

Moments ago during the Bound For Glory broadcast on Challenge TV in the UK and Ireland, TNA President Dixie Carter revealed the three dates on the January 2016 TNA MAXIMUM IMPACT 8 Tour in Manchester, London and Birmingham will be double IMPACT WRESTLING tapings.

Nine additional Stars and Knockouts have also been added to the Tour, including British favorite Grado, Tag Team Champions The Wolves – Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, former TNA World Champion Mr. Anderson, X-Division Champion Tigre Uno, India’s Mahabali Shera and Knockouts Champion Gail Kim, Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne.

The 2016 TNA MAXIMUM IMPACT 8 Tour includes stops in:

Manchester on January 29
London on January 30
Birmingham on January 31
