On January 15, 2026, TNA Wrestling’s flagship show Impact will begin a new era for the company on the AMC Network.
With the move providing a major boost in exposure, we will likely see more marquee signings debut for the company during the show.
Here are six potential new TNA Wrestling signings to debut during the AMC Network debut show.
6. Private Party
One of the longest AEW contract sagas of 2025 has involved Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy, collectively known as Private Party.
Zay and Quen began the year as the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions, but have not been seen once on the company’s programming site dropping the gold to The Hurt Syndicate back on the January 22 episode of Dynamite.
Since around the mid-way point of 2025, it has been reported that the pair’s contracts with AEW are up soon, however, as of the time of writing they remain listed as members of the AEW roster page.
While a move to WWE NXT is what many fans would expect to happen, perhaps we could see Zay & Quen reunite with former AEW allies The Hardy Boyz on Impact instead.

5. Tyler Breeze
Despite technically being signed to WWE in a non-wrestling capacity, Tyler Breeze is someone who could return to the ring for another promotion in 2026.
Fans of the black & gold era of NXT would have hoped to see “Prince Pretty” return for a full-time run in WWE, but that doesn’t seem to be in the company’s plans.
What could perhaps happen instead however, is Breeze sign with WWE’s partner promotion TNA – a place where he could rebuild his in-ring career and help further build the brand as veteran performer.
With former Breezango teammate JDC set to retire from in-ring competition after TNA Genesis on January 17, perhaps we see Breeze show up on January 15 to announce that he’ll be in his corner for his final match.

4. Shotzi Blackheart
Back in May 2025, Shotzi Blackheart announced that she would be departing WWE due to the company opting not to extend her contract.
While many stars take some time off after such a massive change, Shotzi immediately made her return to the independent scene and has not slowed down since.
Showcasing her capability to perform in a variety of insane matches and roles, Shotzi is once again proving what made her such an exciting talent six years ago before she signed with WWE.
Despite seemingly having a blast on the independent scene, Shotzi has all the tools to deliver on a network television level, something she could potentially get the chance to do in TNA Wrestling.

3. Shayna Baszler
Another star who departed WWE in mid 2025, Shayna Baszler was surprisingly released from the company despite only re-signing on a new multi-year deal less than 12 months prior.
Despite this, it appears as if WWE and Baszler remained on decent enough terms as the former multi-time champion proceeded to do some work behind the scenes in NXT during her 90-day WWE non-compete period.
Since officially becoming a free agent Baszler has competed for the likes of GCW and House of Glory, but certainly still has the capability to perform for a top promotion.
If TNA is in need of a new signing that can immediately enter the main event of Knockout’s division, they need look no further than the “Queen of Spades”.

2. The Skyscrapers (Donovan Dijak & Bishop Dyer)
With The Hardy Boyz reportedly re-signing with TNA and The Righteous recently arriving in the company, things are looking up for the company’s tag team division heading into 2026.
However, if TNA want to go an extra step further and add some extra size and legitimacy to their division, they should look at reigning MLW World Tag Team Champions The Skyscrapers.
Comprised of former WWE stars Bishop Dyer (fka Baron Corbin) and Donovan Dijak, the pair have dominated MLW since June, but could perhaps be in need of a new challenge in 2026.
Whether they continue their MLW commitments at the same time or drop the titles and sign contracts with TNA, Dyer and Dijak would make for not only a great addition to TNA’s tag team scene, but also give the company two potential main event level stars on their own as well.

1. Braun Strowman
With the success of his new USA Network food show ‘Everything on the Menu’, Braun Strowman doesn’t appear to be in a rush to step back inside the squared circle to compete on a regular basis, with Strowman stating he was “taking a break” from wrestling during an interview in October.
While this seemingly rules out the possibility of seeing Strowman compete regularly in early 2026, perhaps he could make a one-off appearance in order to set up more possibilities later in the year.
Strowman is someone who fits the bill if TNA are looking for recognisable names for their AMC debut, and unlike other signings, Strowman wouldn’t need to compete every week in order to make a difference.
Appearing sporadically for TNA’s bigger events, Strowman could serve as an almost Brock Lesnar type attraction for the company – a schedule that could ensure that Strowman still gets an appropriate break from the ring.
