With the 2025 WWE Draft reportedly upcoming, there will likely be shake-ups as well as brand new signings in the near future.
From former AEW stars that have been seemingly benched to current top stars in TNA Wrestling – there are a number of intriguing potential new signings seemingly on the horizon.
Here are eight potential new WWE signings.
8. Keith Lee
While his AEW status remains up in the air, Keith Lee has recently confirmed via social media that he is fine and his return to the ring is not in his hands.
Whether he departs AEW or not, the longer he’s off TV, the longer speculation will mount regarding a potential return to WWE.
While he was criminally misused under Vince McMahon’s creative, perhaps under a Triple H led regime Keith Lee could finally have the WWE run that fans have been fantasy booking for years.
Given his connection to audiences and memorable feuds in NXT, it would be amazing to finally see what a solid main roster run for Keith Lee could look like in WWE.

7. Saraya (Paige)
Months after leaving WWE in 2022, Saraya signed with AEW and made an impressive return to in-ring action, winning the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In London 2023.
Since departing from AEW back in March 2025, Saraya has stayed busy – launching a podcast, dropping a memoir and now could potentially poised to return to WWE.
Saraya has noted that she would love to return to her Paige character someday and there is currently a very good reason to do so on the horizon.
With Evolution 2025 fast approaching, hopefully Paige gets an opportunity to pop-up in the rumored battle royal said to host a number of surprises for fans.

6. Juicy Finau
Now that Jacob Fatu is running solo after his falling out with Solo Sikoa, perhaps there could be new members of the Bloodline storyline on the horizon.
Juicy Finau has a long history with Jacob Fatu as members of MLW’s iteration of the Samoan SWAT Team along with Lance Anoa’i – making him the perfect signing.
With Solo Sikoa recruiting JC Mateo, Tama Tonga and Tala Tonga (Hikuleo) to his side – Jacob Fatu could use an enforcer on his side.
Billed at a massive 6’4 and over 450 pounds, Finau could make an immediate splash on any potential opponents and be a dealbreaker in the latest iteration of the Bloodline family saga.

5. Private Party
After losing the AEW World Tag Team Championship to The Hurt Syndicate in January 2025, the duo of Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen have not been seen on AEW TV.
It has recently been reported that their contracts with AEW are coming to an end soon and that there is reportedly interest from WWE in signing the duo.
With boatloads of charisma, as well as an entertaining and fun gimmick, Quen and Zay would be a perfect fit for NXT and eventually the main roster.
With the current NXT Tag Team division in real need of some viable challengers – now could be the perfect time for Private Party to sign with WWE.

4. Vanity Project
Already recently aligning with “All Ego” Ethan Page as his own personal goon squad on NXT, the male members of Vanity Project are set for more spotlight.
On an upcoming edition of NXT, the group – Brad Baylor, Bryce Donovan, Ricky Smokes and WWE Evolve Champion Jackson Drake with serve as a crucible for Ricky Saints.
Saints will face them all in a Vanity Project gauntlet in order to earn a rematch against ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page for the NXT North American Championship.
While Zayda Steel has not appeared on NXT with the group, she does appear alongside them on WWE Evolve and would be a great signing as well.

3. Beth Phoenix
After Beth Phoenix departed WWE officially in 2024, fans thought perhaps she would end up joining her husband Adam Copeland in AEW.
However, almost two years into Cope’s run in AEW and she has not yet appeared – something that, by default, leaves a potential door open for a WWE return.
With the upcoming Evolution 2025 set for Atlanta, Georgia on July 13, it would be amazing to see the Glamazon re-signed with WWE.
Having been on commentary for the first edition of the all-female premium live event back in 2018, Phoenix returning to WWE for the show, even if its a one-off, is an absolute must.

2. Mike Santana
Currently involved in a program with NXT star and current TNA Wrestling Champion Trick Williams, Mike Santana has been another standout from the WWE and TNA partnership.
From his previous work in AEW, to his current character in TNA Wrestling, it has been a fun progression for fans to see as he has seemingly come into his own power as of late.
From solid in-ring skills to his exceptional promos, Santana brings a lot of entertainment every time he is on TV.
After making an impact while featuring on NXT, it would make sense to Mike Santana make the leap and fully sign with WWE when his time with TNA Wrestling is over.

1. Danhausen
Despite having not featured in a substantive way in AEW for well over a year, Danhausen remains a fan favorite.
With reports that the star’s contract with AEW is up in July 2025, it seems as though he could be headed elsewhere.
While TNA Wrestling would likely be interested, Danhausen would be a perfect fit for programs in NXT where fun reigns supreme.
Recently announcing the birth of a brand new babyhausen to his family, perhaps the star will be taking some paternity leave before potentially popping up in WWE.
