WWE continues to scout talent from all over the globe and could be poised to make several notable new signings soon.
From independent wrestling standouts to stars from international promotions, there are some intriguing future signings that could foreseeably happen as WWE continues to pick up top talent.
Here are eight potential new WWE signings.
8. Zilla Fatu
While there is always talk of potential new Bloodline members signing to WWE – perhaps the one that seems most likely to be next is Zilla Fatu.
Already making a name for himself in independent wrestling – including feuding with Booker T in Reality of Wrestling – Fatu has made his future goal to join WWE clear.
Able to capture a similar vibe of equal parts frightening and endearing – Zilla could certainly make a solid backup to Jacob Fatu in a faction.
With the potential for another member of the Bloodline to sign with WWE and become a fan favorite – it would make complete sense to see Zilla Fatu signed sooner rather than later.

7. Danhausen
According to recent reports, WWE is interested in signing Danhausen when his contract with AEW expires – reportedly soon.
While he hasn’t been seen in AEW action since 2023 – he certainly hasn’t been hanging around the house – going on to appear for at least 20 independent promotions.
Continuing to make his mark even in absence from AEW, Danhausen also appeared to continue to be a top AEW merch seller – another detail that is potentially intriguing to WWE about the character.
With the recent appearances of Mr. Iguana on WWE TV being beloved by fans, perhaps Danhausen is set to make the leap to become the next thrill for fans.

6. Private Party
After dropping the AEW World Tag Team Championship to the Hurt Syndicate (WWE alum Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) – Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen disappeared from AEW TV.
Later it was revealed that the pair were set to see their current AEW contracts expire this summer, seemingly indicating perhaps they were not planning on re-signing with the company.
It has been reported that similarly to Danhausen, WWE is interested in exploring signing Private Party when they become available given their TV experience and fan favorite status despite long absence.
With fun characters with well defined in-ring styles as well, the duo seem to be a perfect fit for the rebuilding NXT tag team division.

Hailing from San Diego, California, Zakher was scouted for the WWE ID program from Millennium Pro Wrestling albeit has competed in various promotions including Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.
Zara is set to take on a formidable pair of opponents on August 1 for the WWE ID Women’s Championship – facing both Kylie Lee Rae and Zayda Steel in a triple-threat match for the title.
While it remains to be seen who will become the inaugural champ – all three women in the bout could find themselves signed to WWE by this time next year.

Another contender for the WWE ID Championship on August 1, Jack Cartwheel is another talent likely to find himself signed to WWE soon.

Making a splash on WWE Evolve, Cartwheel has become a favorite for his character and his in-ring abilities.

3. Octagon Jr.
After WWE acquired AAA, it seemed that there was a chance that several of the promotions top stars may end up signing with WWE in the long run.
Octagon Jr. has already made a WWE debut at Money in the Bank 2025 after a confrontation with Dominik Mysterio at the AAA x WWE crossover event Worlds Collide earlier that day led to a match at the main roster event.
Other AAA stars that WWE are rumored to be interested in signing include Psycho Clown and Mr. Iguana after both impressed at the recent crossover event, Worlds Collide.
Able to easily join a group or function as a compelling singles star, Octagon Jr. is a solid signing for WWE as they look to capture the top AAA talent.

After departing TNA Wrestling after six years with the company, Ace Austin has been making his way around the independent wrestling scene as a free agent.
Austin – who is well known for his ABC tag team with Chris Bey is looking towards the next phase of his career.
With the talented star seemingly poised for big things in the future – perhaps he could be WWE bound in the near future.
The former three-time TNA X-Division Champion would seemingly be a great fit to join NXT and make a mark as a singles star.

1. Jelly Roll
While WWE is known for having celebrity guests from time to time, it seems few have taken it as seriously as Jelly Roll.
Joining the elite ranks of Logan Paul and Bad Bunny as mainstream stars who have had full matches in this modern era of WWE – Jelly Roll is set to team with Randy Orton at SummerSlam to take on Paul and Drew McIntyre.
Although he seems poised for success at SummerSlam 2025 – having lost over 100 pounds since his SummerSlam 2024 appearance and having trained at the Performance Center – Jelly Roll may want to come back for more.
WWE could definitely sign Jelly Roll for future matches like a spot in the Royal Rumble or to appear at SummerSlam 2026 – maybe even for a singles match by then!
