TNA Wrestling's flagship show "Impact Wrestling" could soon be without a home -- Spike TV quietly let the league know it's not renewing their TV contract … TMZ has learned.


Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the deal ... tell us Spike execs contacted TNA President Dixie Carter late last week to break the news -- and the following day Carter informed members of her inner circle.

TNA's current deal with Spike reportedly runs through October. It's unclear at this point when "Impact Wrestling" will stop airing on Spike.

We're told there's no bad blood, and Spike gave TNA such advance notice so it would have time to shop for a new TV deal.

TNA's show debuted on Spike TV in October 2005 -- and helped the league rise to #2 on the wrestling scene … behind the WWE.

We've called TNA and Spike for comment ... so far, no word back.

I don't really get why Spike would ditch them. TNA either had the highest ratings on Spike or one of the highest. That network really doesn't have much.

Surprised SpikeTV is still around...

I hope TNA management can find a new TV deal or else lots of guys & ladies will may be out of work and I doubt TNA guys will get a fair shot in the E.

I bet its for Jeff Jarrett new company global force wrestling.

Interesting point as I never thought of it but I would assume it would be risky for Spike to ditch TNA for Jeff Jarrett's company especially when they haven't really signed anybody.

I think Jeff Jarretts promotion is still a long way before getting a TV contract.
