On January 16, WWE and TNA Wrestling announced an official multi-year partnership to create unprecedented crossover opportunities for the talent and fans.
Since then-TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace appeared in the 2024 women’s Royal Rumble match, the two promotions have worked well together and seen various stars crossover.
After the likes of Joe Hendry, Wes Lee and Charlie Dempsey have “crossed the line,” there will be several other talent who will receive the spotlight from this working relationship.
Here are seven WWE stars to potentially appear in TNA Wrestling.
7. Roxanne Perez
Back in 2022, Roxanne Perez, then known as Rok-C, had a title vs. title match against Deonna Purrazzo on TNA IMPACT.
Following this appearance, Perez went on to sign with WWE and has gone on to become a two-time NXT Women’s Champion.
With Perez’s best friend Cora Jade recently having her in-ring debut in TNA Wrestling, it would not be surprising to see Roxanne join her over on Thursday nights.
“The Prodigy” battling Tessa Blanchard or Tasha Steelz could deliver some memorable in-ring encounters and allow Perez to further stake her claim as one of the best in the world.

6. Tony D’Angelo & The D’Angelo Family
Tony D’Angelo was one of the original stars introduced during the initial introduction of the WWE NXT 2.0 rebrand.
The current NXT North American Champion has been dealing with different challengers as well as interpersonal issues within The D’Angelo Family.
When looking at the character of D’Angelo, it is probably the most suited to fit on TNA Wrestling programming.
Seeing Tony D defending the North American Championship against the talented roster for TNA like Ace Austin or Jake Something could be a great opportunity for any star to shine in a significant way.

5. Natalya
Ever since the WWE started working with TNA Wrestling, Natalya has often been mentioned as someone who the fans and wrestlers want to see appear on IMPACT.
Natalya is still considered one of the best and most respected female in-ring competitors in WWE today.
Considering her lack of storyline investment currently in the company, it shouldn’t be a problem for the Hart Family member to make some regular appearances for TNA.
Natalya challenging Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts World Champion could offer a thrilling encounter on a future pay-per-view in 2025.

4. Ethan Page
Whether thanks to his stellar work alongside Josh Alexander in The North or his untimely exit from the promotion, Ethan Page has a lot of history with TNA Wrestling that is both bad and good.
“All Ego” spent a number of years with the promotion before departing to go sign with All Elite Wrestling.
Page coming in to potentially reunite with Alexander one last time could prove to be a fitting final match for “The Walking Weapon” whose contract is set to expire.
There is also the fact that Page has scored a singles victory over Joe Hendry in WWE NXT that could play a factor that leads to a TNA World Title match.

3. LA Knight
Another former TNA Wrestling star that could possibly make an appearance in this partnership is SmackDown’s LA Knight.
“The Megastar” is still among one of the most popular stars on the WWE main roster, but has not got a huge story to sink his teeth into since losing the United States Championship at Survivor Series 2024.
Knight rose to prominence as Eli Drake and even captured the TNA World Championship, which could open the door for a potential return.
With Knight not currently involved in anything major on WWE TV, it seems like nothing is in the way of the former U.S. Champion mixing it up with Moose or Eddie Edwards in TNA.

2. Bayley
To kick off 2025, Bayley has made the move from SmackDown to Monday Night Raw to freshen up the women’s division on the red brand.
In a recent interview during Royal Rumble 2025 weekend, “The Role Model” admitted that she texted Triple H to be part of the WWE and TNA Wrestling partnership after the announcement was made.
Bayley remains one of WWE’s top female stars and is a Grand Slam Women’s Champion.
Watching Bayley square off with the likes of Rosemary and Dani Luna would be something most fans would have never expected to see.

1. AJ Styles
This is the obvious answer and will remain to be until fans see the greatest TNA Wrestling star of all time make a comeback.
AJ Styles became the face of TNA, coming up through the ranks as a multi-time X-Division Champion and then breaking through to become a five-time TNA World Champion.
Styles set the standard for in-ring excellence that still remains in the promotion and has brought that same quality to WWE since signing in 2016.
“The Phenomenal One” making a return to be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame or coming in for one match against someone like Joe Hendry, Mike Santana or Nic Nemeth could deliver one of the most memorable bouts in TNA history.
