TNA Wrestling has seen a lot of growth over the last year with its WWE partnership, and that includes roster additions as well.
From Harley Hudson to Mara Sade, these debuts have helped to bolster the roster tremendously.
There are various free agents and stars from other promotions who could make the move to TNA in the coming weeks and months.
Here are eight potential TNA Wrestling debuts coming soon.
8. Braun Strowman
In May, Braun Strowman saw his second run with WWE come to a close when he was part of the latest batch of releases.
Despite taking a lesser role on the roster, Strowman had been playing a crucial role against the younger stars like Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa and Carmelo Hayes.
However, Strowman has not made any notable appearances since his non-compete clause expired, thus making him a free agent.
In TNA Wrestling, Strowman could stay close to WWE and have a whole new landscape that could see him be a top star again.

7. Elayna Black (Cora Jade)
One of the more surprising names that was part of the latest slate of WWE releases in May was Cora Jade.
At just 24 years old, Jade was one of the most prominently featured stars of the NXT women’s division since signing with WWE in 2021.
Immediately following her non-compete clause expiring, Jade, going by Elayna Black again, returned to the independent scene where she made appearances for the likes of GCW, Prestige Wrestling and AIW.
During her time on WWE NXT, Black spent some time in TNA Wrestling and could use that experience to make a smooth transition to the company sooner rather than later.

6. Karrion Kross & Scarlett
On August 9, Karrion Kross and Scarlett announced their exit from WWE after their contracts expired.
Despite some fans initially thinking otherwise, the duo have been adamant about their departure from WWE being legitimate.
Considering the buzz and news surrounding their names, it feels like the right time for Kross and Scarlett to make the move to TNA Wrestling.
With the current main event scene, Kross has the momentum that should immediately make him become a potential world champion in TNA.

Lena Kross is an Australian wrestler who has recently been making a name for herself across the independent scene.
With her size and look, Kross stands out from the pack and has become a star that several different promotions have shown interest in.
Working with some of the best women’s wrestlers in the world today like Megan Bayne, Billie Starkz and Miyu Yamashita, Kross has proven herself without a doubt.
Bringing in indie stars like Myla Grace and Harley Hudson, TNA Wrestling has shown they will bring in talent from around the world, so Kross could be the next addition to that list.

On May 2, Shotzi Blackheart was part of the latest slate of WWE talent cuts when she was informed her contract was not going to be renewed.
The former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion spent six years with WWE across her time in NXT and over on the SmackDown brand.
Since leaving WWE, Shotzi has hit the ground running on the independent scene, in particular working with Game Changer Wrestling where she has had an entertaining feud with Matt Cardona.
Shotzi could bring her eccentric personality and character to the TNA Knockouts division where she has the experience to compete for championship gold.

Hudson played an underrated role with the Chase U stable and is a former NXT Tag Team Champion with Andre Chase.
Becoming Duke Hanson, the former WWE star has looked to reinvent himself in this new chapter of his career.
Signing with TNA Wrestling, Hanson could be a relied upon competitor who can help bring much needed depth to the roster.

2. Tegan Nox (Nixon Newell)
In November 2024, WWE released Tegan Nox from her contract after two stints with the company across seven years.
Nox, now once again known as Nixon Newell, has returned to the independent scene where she is trying to showcase why she belongs in another major promotion.
Newell had long been one of the more underutilized talents on the WWE roster and can now rewrite her legacy in a new company.
Changing the trajectory of her career, Newell may now have a chip on her shoulder that will make her a formidable opponent for the likes of Masha Slamovich or Indi Hartwell in TNA whenever the time is right.

1. Donovan Dijak
Ever since leaving WWE, Donovan Dijak has been on a mission to prove all of his naysayers and doubters wrong.
Dijak has the size, look, agility and versatility that makes him a standout talent for whichever promotion he appears in.
Recently, Dijak has become a top star for Major League Wrestling and is the current MLW World Tag Team Champion with Bishop Dyer, also known as Baron Corbin in WWE.
In TNA Wrestling, Dijak would be one of the best in-ring competitors on the roster and has everything it takes to be a main eventer in the company.
