Posted on by Joseph Currier

A first-time ever matchup has been announced for TNA Wrestling’s television tapings in Philadelphia.

Nic Nemeth vs. Alex Shelley will take place when TNA tapes TV at Philly’s 2300 Arena this Friday. TNA is holding tapings at the venue on both Friday (March 22) and Saturday (March 23). Matches from the shows will air on future episodes of Impact.

TNA is billing this as a “generational clash” between Nemeth and Shelley.

Formerly known as Dolph Ziggler in WWE, Nemeth debuted for TNA at Hard to Kill this January. He’s challenging Moose for the TNA World Championship at next month’s Rebellion pay-per-view.

Shelley lost the TNA World Championship to Moose at Hard to Kill. 

PWInsider reports that the belief is Shelley and Chris Sabin’s current contracts with TNA Wrestling are set to expire soon, “possibly as soon as the end of March.”

Shelley & Sabin are teaming together against TNA Tag Team Champions Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers at this Saturday’s TNA taping. Edwards & Myers have a title defense against Mike Bailey & Trent Seven scheduled for Rebellion.

Here’s everything that’s been announced for the Philadelphia tapings so far:

TNA Wrestling announces Philadelphia TV tapings

Posted on by Joseph Currier

TNA Wrestling is coming to Philadelphia this March for two nights of television tapings.

It was announced today that TNA will hold TV tapings at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23. Matches for the tapings will be announced in the coming weeks. They will air on future episodes of Impact.

Tickets for the tapings are going on sale at 10 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday, January 20.

“Philadelphia and the 2300 Arena have a long history in pro wrestling as the downtown venue made ECW a household name over 20 years ago,” TNA wrote. “TNA Wrestling had its first major show in Philadelphia in 2006 and the City of Brotherly Love played host to the Lockdown pay-per-view in 2009 and the Bound for Glory pay-per-view in 2011. IMPACT Wrestling had its last stand-alone shows at the 2300 Arena in March 2022.”

This will be the first time TNA has been to Philadelphia during the company’s new era. At Hard to Kill this Saturday, the promotion’s name change from Impact Wrestling back to TNA Wrestling officially goes into effect.
