Former TNA World Champion reportedly signing contract extension
TNA Wrestling’s roster has undergone some changes as it heads into its AMC era that begins this Thursday, but a fixture in the promotion the last few years is reportedly sticking around.
According to a report by PWInsider on Tuesday, former TNA World and International Champion Steve Maclin has come to terms with TNA on a contract extension, but the length of the deal is still unknown.
Maclin last appeared in early-December on TNA, defeating reigning International Champion Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo by DQ.
Maclin debuted in TNA back in June 2021, starting out in the X-Division. He made his way into the World title picture in 2023, winning the vacant title at April 2023’s Rebellion, holding it for just two months before dropping it to Shelley.
He became the TNA International Champion, winning the vacant title at April 2025’s Unbreakable, losing it to Frankie Kazarian five months later. His second reign lasted two months, ending at last December’s Final Resolution.
As of this writing, the 38-year-old has not been added to this Saturday’s Genesis pay-per-view card. As noted on his X account, Maclin is currently taking indie bookings through April.
While TNA has re-upped deals with Cedric Alexander, Home Town Man and Maclin recently, The Rascalz have reportedly hit free agency while Jake Something signed a deal with AEW.
