Earlier today, we reported that TNA was “considering” moving Impact from Tuesday nights to Thursdays mostly due to the changes WWE has made with SmackDown.
However, it didn’t take long for TNA officials to make the decision official because the move is now legitimate and Impact Wrestling will be airing on Thursdays starting July 21st.
TNA Wrestling released the following statement on the change:
“THE SUMMER HEATS UP ON POP AS IMPACT WRESTLING BROADCASTS LIVE TUESDAY, JULY 12 AT 9/8c AND MOVES TO THURSDAY NIGHTS STARTING THURSDAY, JULY 21 AT ITS NEW TIME AT 8/7c TUESDAY, JULY 12 AT 9/8C
