TNA Wrestling Announces Departures of Key Personnel

Anthem Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), has announced significant changes to its talent and personnel roster. This includes the departure of wrestling icon Tommy Dreamer and former TNA World Champion Tessa Blanchard.

In a press release, TNA stated, “TNA Wrestling today announced a workforce reduction, designed to streamline operations and sharpen strategic focus and profitability.” The organization further detailed an immediate shift in its creative leadership team following Dreamer’s exit. He had been involved in TNA’s Creative and Talent Relations Departments. TNA and Dreamer have mutually agreed to part ways.

The release also addressed Blanchard’s exit from the company, “TNA Wrestling has come to terms on the release of Tessa Blanchard.” TNA expressed well-wishes for both Dreamer and Blanchard, stating, “We wish Tessa, Tommy and others the best in their future endeavors.”

Tommy Dreamer reflected on his departure in an interview on Busted Open Radio, sharing his emotional decision to leave TNA.

Adding to the roster changes, pro wrestler Sami Callihan also announced his separation from TNA through a post on X. “Thought I was getting called today to be offered a position in creative… nope. I’ve parted ways with TNA. Oh well… onward to the next adventure,” he conveyed, encouraging fans to support Pro Wrestling Revolver.

The departures of Dreamer, Blanchard, and Callihan follow earlier announcements this month, when TNA confirmed that Steve Maclin and Myla Grace had also left the promotion.
