With the continued crossover partnership between TNA Wrestling and WWE, there are some likely new signings with familiar faces.
From TNA Wrestling champions with a past in WWE to others that may have already made their official WWE debuts — there are some great signings that WWE could snag from the current TNA Wrestling roster.
Here are five more TNA Wrestling stars that are likely to sign with WWE.
5. Zack Ryder
One TNA Wrestling name that definitely should make his way back to WWE in some capacity is Matt Cardona.
Formerly known as Zack Ryder in his time in WWE, the five years since his departure showed incredible growth in his career that has seemingly paid off.
Making a surprise return in the Last Time Is Now tournament to determine who would be the last opponent for John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 — Zack Ryder is seemingly back in action.
With a ready-made storyline with his real-life wife Chelsea Green and her AAA mixed tag team partner Ethan Page — there are so many compelling stories for Ryder back in WWE.

4. Mara Sade
After having been released from NXT under her former character of Jakara Jackson, the engaging former member of the Meta-Four didn’t quit wrestling.
Going on to be revealed as a new signing in TNA Wrestling, Mara Sade has already made an impact in the TNA Knockouts division.
Participating in the recent TNA in NXT invasion match, there is definitely still more to come from the star in the Knockouts division.
With NXT star Kelani Jordan continuing to hold the TNA Wrestling Knockouts Championship, it could be that Sade and Jordan have a massive showdown before any brand switches happen.

3. Joe Hendry
It seems that Joe Hendry is set to feature on WWE TV sooner rather than later in a very big way.
Entering the Royal Rumble 2025 and facing Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41, Joe Hendry has had a dream WWE year and hasn’t been officially announced as signed to the company yet.
Making the most of crossover appearances, Hendry has recently joined forces with NXT’s Thea Hail in a mixed tag team feud with Chelsea Green and Ethan Page.
Definitely set for big things in the future, it would seem that Joe Hendry’s signing with WWE will be officially confirmed at some point soon.

2. Mike Santana
While Mike Santana bested Trick Williams to reclaim the TNA World Championship on behalf of the brand, it would end up being an NXT interference that cost him the title.
On an episode of TNA Impact, there was an NXT invasion that saw not only Santana attacked by a group of interlopers to the brand including Robert Stone, Lexis King, Stacks, Brooks Jensen, Charlie Dempsey and High Ryze’s Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe.
With Frankie Kazarian going on to capitalize on the attack by cashing in his title shot opportunity, he was able to win and knock off Mike Santana as the TNA Wrestling World Champion.
With reports that Santana’s contract is expiring soon with TNA and also that WWE is interested in signing him, it could be that Mike Santana makes his way to WWE soon.

1. The IInspiration
The current TNA Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee are back in the company in a big way.
After taking time off to become mothers, the pair reunited on screen and in the ring in 2025.
Going on to win the TNA Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Championship, the former IIconics from their time in WWE (fka as Billie Kay and Peyton Royce), the pair are reportedly free agents.
Receiving a joyful fan reception when the team made an appearance as a part of the recent Showdown crossover event — it would seem that the IIconics could make their return to WWE in 2026.
