2024 might just be one of the most unpredictable years in TNA Wrestling post the Hulk Hogan and GFW era.
Having it’s fair share of newsworthy highs and lows throughout the year, TNA’s first year back since 2016 saw the company produced four pay-per-views this year, but of those PPV’s which one can stake the claim of being the best and which one is worth forgetting about.
Here is my list of every TNA Wrestling 2024 Pay-Per-View ranked from Worst to Best.
#4. Rebellion

After Scott D’Amore’s shocking departure from the company in early February, the morale within the locker room and fanbase had diminished ever so slightly…and this is best encapsulated with April’s Rebellion pay-per-view.
Things started off real strong with an opening contest seeing Mustafa Ali retain his TNA X Division title against Jake Something, but from there things began to falter.
Rich Swann beat Joe Hendry in a match that was overbooked with outside interference, Kazarian defeated Eric Young in a Full Metal Mayhem match that led to EY needing surgery to fix one of his ears, Jordynne Grace and Steph De Lander had what was easily the worst match of the year for the Knockouts Championship, and the main event was pretty lackluster considering the two men involved were Nic Nemeth and Moose.
Now not everything else on the card was bad; The Last Man Standing Match between Hammerstone and Josh Alexander was a great way to end their rivalry, The System retaining their World Tag Team Titles against Speedball Mountain was good and the returns of Sami Callihan, Mike Santana and Matt Hardy were big highlights of the show.
That said, the anticlimactic nature to some of the matches don’t due this show any favors nor does the attendance numbers, which were only a fraction of what the company did several months earlier….and unsurprisingly this show ranks at the very bottom of this list.
#3. Hard To Kill

If Rebellion was a TNA show lacking momentum, then Hard To Kill was an event filled to the brim with hype and intrigue as the show kicked off with the second ever Knockouts Ultimate X match including Tasha Steelz, Dani Luna, Jody Threat, Gisele Shaw and the newest signee to the TNA roster, Xia Brookside.
The Knockouts action continued when Havok and Rosemary reformed Decay and defeated the team of MK Ultra to become the new Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, plus Jordynne Grace defeated Trinity (aka Naomi in the WWE) to become a three time TNA Knockouts World Champion.
Elsewhere on the card, Chris Sabin defended his X Division title in a three way bout against Kushida and Vikingo, Ace Austin and Chris Bey remained the World Tag Team Champions in a four way match which included the Grizzled Young Vets making their TNA debut, also Josh Alexander and Hammerstone had their first encounter here on this night with ‘The Walking Weapon’ coming out with the win.
The main event saw Moose defeat Alex Shelley to become the new TNA World Champion only for things to go awry when Nic Nemeth sneaked from behind and attacked the new champion before ripping his shirt off to reveal his now a part of TNA Wrestling.
This show wasn’t perfect as a few non wrestling ads and a segment between the presidents of TNA and AAA were tedious, the PCO vs Dirty Dango match was the weakest on the card and even though we didn’t know it at the time, the constant swapping of the Knockouts tag titles would be one of the many problems within the Knockouts Division this year.
Still, for what this show was able to produce not to mention the ticket sales and critical reception, Hard To Kill brought back the TNA brand in a big way.
#2. Slammiversary

The first TNA event in Montreal since 2011, Slammiversary took place in the Verdun Auditorium in front of a little over 4,000 fans at what was easily the peak of the company’s Total Nonstop Summer Tour.
Things got underway with Matt Hardy getting revenge on The System’s JDC aka Dirty Dango in the opening match before we saw The System suffer another loss this time at the hands of the ABC to become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions once again, also Alisha Edwards got hit with Chris Bey’s Art of Finesse finisher….I guess that’s what you get for interefering in the match way too much.
Santana beat Jake Something in a solid matchup, Wes Lee rejoined The Rascalz to defeat NXT’s No Quarter Catch Crew, Jordynne Grace was able to put away Ash By Elegance to retain her Knockouts World Championship, Mike Bailey won his second X Division Title from Mustafa Ali and PCO defeated A.J. Francis to become the new TNA Digital Media Champion and new Canadian Heavyweight Champion.
The main event, which was a six way elimination match for the TNA World Title had it’s fair share of memorable spots including Josh Alexander’s stunning heel turn and elimination of Hendry before Nic Nemeth eliminated Alexander and Kazarian to become the new World Champion in what has to be the biggest win in the career of the former Dolph Ziggler since cashing his Money in the Bank briefcase on the Raw after Wrestlemania 29.
Outside of fans complaining about the lack of lighting on the back section of fans in the building, Slammiversary 2024 was a great night for TNA…That said, there is one show that narrowly comes ahead.
#1. Bound For Glory

If you thought from an attendance or pay-per-view buys standpoint that Slammiversary was the more dominant show then that’s completely understandable, but to me Bound For Glory just manages to edge it out and here are the reasons why:
The opening contest saw X Division Champion Mike Bailey retaining his title against Vikingo in an incredible matchup followed by Spitfire also keeping their Knockouts Tag Team Titles against the team of Rosemary and NXT’s Wendy Choo.
Josh Alexander earned a much needed win over Steve Maclin in a solid one-on-one contest, PCO beats Matt Cardona to keep his Digital Media and Canadian Heavyweight titles in a Monster’s Ball match and Mike Santana defeats Moose in a first time ever bout.
The three hyped main events for Bound For Glory saw Masha Slamovich defeat Jordynne Grace to become the new TNA Knockouts World Champion, Nic Nemeth (with some help from John Layfield) retained his TNA World Championship over Joe Hendry and The Hardy Boyz became three time TNA World Tag Team Champions after defeating Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers and the ABC in a Full Metal Mayhem match.
On top of the tremendous action, the show was another sold out event and it also became the largest crowd for a U.S. TNA PPV in 2024 with around 2,500-3,000 people being present.
When you take into account all of this…Bound For Glory takes the top spot for me as the best TNA PPV of 2024.
