According to The Wrestling Observer, TNA has informed talents that another set of Impact Wrestling tapings will take place at Universal Studios from Thursday, August 11th through Sunday, August 14th but those dates have yet to be confirmed. The next set of confirmed TV taping dates are July 12th through July 14th with a semi-live episode on Tuesday the 12th.

In an update on current TNA talent re-signings, the new contracts signed by Abyss, Rosemary, Rockstar Spud, Al Snow, Trevor Lee, DJ Zema Ion and Chelsea Green are all exclusive deals. This means TNA will be handling any outside bookings that the talents might work.

The most recent set of tapings ended without top stars Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Drew Galloway and EC3 signing new TNA contracts. All four talents are still under contract, however, so there’s no issue with them signing elsewhere between tapings, but they remain under old deals and TNA was hoping to lock them down to new deals at the end of the last set of tapings.
