Over the past two years, there have been several former TNA Wrestling stars who have made the jump to All Elite Wrestling.

From Speedball Mike Bailey and Josh Alexander to Ace Austin and The Rascalz, these names have made significant impacts on the entire AEW roster in a variety of ways.

Now following AEW All Out 2026, Dani Luna became the latest former TNA star to make a similar move and could lead to others following in her footsteps.

Here are five former TNA Wrestling stars to potentially sign with AEW.

Subculture (Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster)

At AEW All Out 2026, Dani Luna answered Persephone’s TBS Championship Open Challenge.

While she came up short, Luna showed why she was considered one of the best the TNA Knockouts division had to offer over the past year.

When Luna first arrived in TNA Wrestling, she was part of the Subculture stable alongside Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster.

With experience from TNA and WWE NXT UK, Subculture would be a logical addition that could further expand the AEW tag team division in a meaningful way.

Speaking of Dani Luna, someone else she was closely tied to in TNA Wrestling was Jody Threat.

Luna and Threat made the tag team known as Spitfire that were a featured act in TNA.

The former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions had a strong bond with one another as well as the fans.

Bringing in Threat could be a very useful acquisition that can play off her history with not only Luna, but also Athena from their previous meeting four years ago.

Sinner & Saint (Travis Williams & Judas Icarus)

The AEW tag team division now features some of the greatest tag teams of the past 25 years.

From The Young Bucks and FTR to Motor City Machine Guns and The New Level, there is representation from several different eras of tag team wrestling.

However, All Elite Wrestling needs younger pairings to flesh out their tag scene and could get that with a duo that left TNA Wrestling earlier this year.

Sinner and Saints would fit the bill and deliver some exciting matches against the likes of The Bucks, The Rascalz and Cope and Cage.

Mara Sade

Mara Sade has been a name mentioned to be heading to All Elite Wrestling in the past few weeks.

After being released by WWE, Sade went to TNA Wrestling and became a fixture in the Knockouts division.

Formerly known as Jakara Jackson, Sade showcased her improvement in the ring and as a character in TNA.

Now with her likely to be heading to AEW, Sade could add further depth to the women’s division in a major way.

Steve Maclin

Following this bout, Copeland had plenty of praise for Maclin, calling him the most wanted free agent in wrestling.

Maclin himself also stated that he would love to sign with All Elite Wrestling.

Joining his wife Deonna Purrazzo, Maclin could be an impactful addition that can play any role on the AEW roster given to him and excel moving forward.
