Impact Wrestling enters the world of NFT collectibles.
It was announced today that the first Impact NFTs will be released in June with a token of Authority Director Santino Marella. Another NFT on Mickie James will be released later this summer. There will be 100 copies of the Santino NFT, which includes access to an exclusive Impact Discord channel on the server, a chance to win a personal Discord phone call from Santino, a community chat with Santino, and an exclusive signed photo.
Impact president Scott D’Amore said the company is very excited to release its NFTs, noting that they have been studying this for some time.
“We are very excited to move into the NFT business – something we have studied for a long time,” he said. “The NFT possibilities are endless and we’re sure our loyal fans will be thrilled with the IMPACT NFTs.”
Impact is set to host a Twitter Spaces event to discuss their NFT launch soon. Additional NFTs are expected to be released periodically until the end of this year.

Here comes IMPACT Wrestling NFTs, launching soon
IMPACT Wrestling jumps into the popular, trendy world of NFT collectibles, including exclusive offerings featuring Santino Marella and Mickie James.
NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) are unique digital assets that cannot be exchanged. The demand for NFTs is driven by the fact that each NFT is unique and cannot be exchanged for another NFT or for any other asset on a one-to-one basis.
The first IMPACT NFT will be the General NFT Pass. Santino Marella NFT will be launched in June. There will only be 100 copies of Santino available, and each will include access to an exclusive IMPACT Discord channel on the server, a chance to win a personal Discord phone call from Santino, a community conversation with Santino, as well as an exclusive signed photo.
A Mickie James NFT is launching this summer with the same tooling as the Santino NFT.
“We are very excited to move into the NFT business – something we have studied for a long time,” said IMPACT Wrestling President Scott D’Amore. “The NFT possibilities are endless and we’re sure our loyal fans will be thrilled with the IMPACT NFTs.”
Media agency Rumble Gaming spearheaded this decline with the help of their partner, SHOPX. “To ensure the success of this initiative, we are building a community and giving fans the opportunity to interact directly with their favorite wrestlers,” said Adam Ivers, Rumble Gaming’s CEO. “We felt this was an ideal time to help elevate IMPACT into the metaverse and unlock new ways for fans to connect with the brand.”
The NFT market grew dramatically from 2020 to 2021. Trading of NFTs in 2021 increased to more than $17 billion, up 21,000 percent from 2020’s total of $82 million.
IMPACT will host a Twitter Spaces event to talk about the launch of the IMPACT NFTs. Additional IMPACT NFTs are expected to drop periodically through the end of 2023.
