List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling personnel

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) – is a professional wrestling promotion based in Nashville, Tennessee. TNA personnel consists of professional wrestlers, managers, play-by-play and color commentators, ring announcers, interviewers, referees, trainers, producers, script writers, and various other positions. Executives are listed as well.

Active wrestlers and on-screen talent appear on TNA's flagship weekly show Impact, pay-per-views and at untelevised live events. Personnel are organized below by their role in TNA. Their ring name is on the left, and their real name is on the right. TNA refers to its female performers as "Knockouts".

TNA has partnerships with various national and international promotions, such as Japan's New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW),[1] and Mexico's Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). As such, wrestlers from these companies may also make periodic appearances on Impact programming, and Impact recognizes when one of their wrestlers holds a championship from a partner promotion.

The U.S. based Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) serves as a developmental territory for TNA, therefore OVW talent may also periodically appear on Impact as well.[2][3]
