Anthem Hired Carlos Silva to SELL TNA Wrestling: Exclusive
If you’ve followed Carlos Silva’s career, the recent roster moves at TNA start to look pretty familiar.
Silva has a well-documented track record in sports and media: he steps into companies, focuses on growth and distribution, makes them more valuable, and often positions them for sales, investments, or bigger partnerships.
Key stops include:
World Series of Fighting (later PFL)
C360 (sold to Cosm)
Universal Sports Network (sold to NBC, became the Olympic Channel)
World TeamTennis, Barrett-Jackson, and earlier interactive TV ventures sold to AOL
About TNA President Carlos Silva
He joined Anthem Sports Group as President in late 2024 specifically to oversee growth, development, and distribution for TNA (plus Invicta and Fight Network).
He’s been upfront about the goal: build the brand through better TV deals, live events, sponsorships, and international reach so the company becomes more attractive long-term.
Fast forward to June 2026. Just days ago, TNA announced it had come to terms on the releases of Steve Maclin and Myla Grace, effective immediately. Both had requested their exits.
The Bottom Line
This fits the pattern fans have noticed: roster trimming, contract decisions, and a clear emphasis on metrics and strategic alignment while pushing the AMC TV deal and other growth initiatives.
Silva has openly talked about putting TNA in a position where “people come knocking on the door” for investment or more.
It’s not conspiracy — it’s the same approach he’s used across multiple properties.
Anthem owns TNA; Silva’s job is to maximize its value. Whether that leads to a sale, bigger investment, or continued independence under a stronger footing remains to be seen.
But the history makes the current moves easy to read: stabilize, grow the business side, streamline where needed, and set up the next chapter.
