It has been a busy few weeks for new TNA signings and contract renewals, with the promotion announcing that Shayna Baszler and Shotzi Blackheart have joined the roster and both Santino Marella and Daria Rae have agreed new deals.
This time of year is typically a busy one for TNA when it comes to talent re-signings, and according to Fightful Select, more new contract announcements will be on the way “in the coming weeks.”
Here are three more names that could potentially be in line for new deals in the near future:
Xia Brookside
2026 has been a breakout year for England’s own Xia Brookside, with the second-generation star climbing to the very top of the promotion by becoming TNA Knockouts World Champion.
While that reign came to an end at this month’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view – where she lost to Indi Hartwell – Brookside is someone who TNA will likely be eager to keep given her success this year.
According to Fightful, Brookside’s current deal will run through 2026. There’s yet to be any word regarding interest from other promotions, but TNA shouldn’t wait any longer in tying down the 28-year-old.
Elayna Black
It has almost been a year since Elayna Black signed with TNA Wrestling, with the former WWE NXT star being unveiled as a member of the company’s roster during its premiere episode on AMC back on January 15.
Black has consistently been featured on TV throughout the year, and has been in championship contention on several occasions; including challenging for Xia Brookside’s TNA Knockouts World Title at LockDown 2026 and, most recently attempting to dethrone M By Elegance for the Knockouts Television Title on the October 8 Impact.
With her deal also reportedly running through 2026, Black could build upon her success this year by capturing her first singles title in pro wrestling in 2027.
Leon Slater
The re-signing of Leon Slater must have already either happened or be in the works as “The Youngest in Charge” is now THE guy in TNA Wrestling.
Slater became the youngest TNA World Champion ever at Bound for Glory by defeating Nic Nemeth, and he now looks set to carry the flag for the promotion heading into 2027.
In order to do that however, he will need to be re-signed to a new deal, given that his existing contract is due to expire in the fall of this year.
Again, it’s hard to imagine TNA putting the title on him if he was set to depart the company, so this one is certainly the likeliest announcement we should be hearing in the coming weeks.
