As storylines continue to shift in WWE, there are continually new characters added as talented wrestlers become available to be signed.
From talent with established careers in Japan to one of AEW’s biggest recent stars, there are seemingly new WWE signings that could be revealed soon.
Here are eight potential new WWE signings.
8. Jeff Cobb
One hotly anticipated addition to the WWE roster remains former New Japan Pro Wrestling star Jeff Cobb.
While the former IWGP Tag Team Champion is reportedly signed to WWE, he has yet to debut nor has WWE made any comment regarding his status.
It seems pretty likely that Jeff Cobb will be making a WWE debut sometime soon, recently taking to social media to tease not only his current “retirement”, but also openness to whatever comes next.
While it remains to be seen where he may appear – main roster or NXT – it was recently reported by WrestleVotes that the current creative plans would place him doing big things on the main roster soon.

7. Rhio
Another wrestler who has made their name internationally but could be WWE bound soon is UK women’s sensation, Rhio.
Making on-screen appearances as an extra already on WWE TV, it was reported that Rhio impressed WWE at a recent UK tryout.
While recently speculation kicked up that Rhio could be imminently WWE-bound – taking on Nina Samuels in a title vs. career match – Rhio actually ended up winning.
Capturing her second PROGRESS Women’s Championship, Rhio continues to do big things in independent wrestling, but remains a potential future WWE signing.

6. Masha Slamovich
A current TNA Wrestling star that could be headed to WWE when available is Masha Slamovich.
The current TNA Knockouts World Champion is able to bring her hard hitting action and indie experience to immediately become a threat to foes in WWE.
As the TNA Wrestling and NXT partnership continues to create crossover moments, Slamovich has already made an on-screen appearance in NXT.
Also a three-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion, she would be an excellent addition to the NXT women’s division – able to resurrect her memorable rivalry with Jordynne Grace.

5. Man Like Dereiss
Man Like Dereiss reportedly impressed WWE officials at a recent UK based tryout and since has gone on to make a mark in the USA.
Attending WrestleMania 41 weekend festivities in Las Vegas, Deriess brought his charisma and signature rapping entrance to new audiences during six matches over the weekend.
Reportedly garnering attention from both WWE and TNA Wrestling, it would seem likely that fans will see him on TV sometime soon.
It would definitely make sense to see Man Like Dereiss signed with NXT or TNA sometime in 2025.

4. Mayu Iwatani
Mayu Iwatani recently confirmed her departure from STARDOM and made fans wonder if her next move could be WWE.
Although she would later reveal via a press conference that she signed with the Rossy Ogawa helmed promotion Marigold – she added mention of WWE.
She noted at the press conference that one aspect of signing with Marigold was having potential future matches with current WWE stars was a factor, as crossovers have occurred between Marigold and WWE recently.
Naming IYO SKY, Kairi Sane and Giulia as potential stars she would love to face or team with, hopefully Mayu gets her wish!

3. Mariah May
Rumors persist that Mariah May could very well be WWE bound after a remarkable stint in AEW.
After signing with AEW and becoming the star of an extended storyline arc with Timeless Toni Storm, Mariah May certainly made a big impact on women’s wrestling since her arrival in the United States.
However after their Hollywood Ending match at AEW Revolution 2025, May has disappeared from AEW.
Neither Mariah May, AEW nor WWE have made any official comment regarding her future plans, but there does seem to be something to the story as her contract is coming up soon and she disappeared from AEW TV.

2. Paige (Saraya)
Another AEW women’s division switch to WWE could come in the form of Paige (Saraya).
Saraya recently confirmed she’s a free agent after departing AEW, and has been very open about discussing a potential WWE return.
She’s also specifically said she would prefer to return to the Paige character instead of continuing as Saraya.
It would be very rewarding to see her return to the ring to compete in speciality matches that didn’t exist when she last wrestled in WWE, like the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, as she was one of the women who really spearheaded the revolution to pushing those matches into existence.

1. Joe Hendry
Joe Hendry seems to be back regularly on WWE NXT TV as he kicked off a feud with Trick Williams that has spanned across NXT and TNA.
This comes after his recent WrestleMania appearance against Randy Orton, another clear sign that WWE sees something in the Scot.
Triple H even said in the post-Mania press conference that Hendry has more WrestleManias ahead of him.
At this point, that’s as close to confirmation as possible that WWE will be looking to sign him when his TNA deal comes up.
