The end of the year is a major time in the professional wrestling industry. For many companies, it is when some of their biggest events take place. It is also often when many performers on their rosters will have contracts expire. That will reportedly be the case for TNA Wrestling in December.
According to FightFul, “a lot of contracts are coming up in December” for some on the TNA roster. It means that quite a few talented wrestlers could be on the free agent market to begin 2027. With that in mind, we take a look at six TNA stars we would love to see make the jump to WWE early next year.
The Righteous (Dutch and Vincent)
Reports in the summer claimed that WWE is trying to make an effort to improve their tag division. However, they decided to do so after cutting The New Day and The Motor City Machine Guns. They could certainly use some veteran teams with charisma, and TNA has a few that might be available in a couple of months.
One that WWE should check in on if they hit the open market is The Righteous. The duo of Dutch and Vincent are a well-traveled team that has also competed in AEW. They have a very unique gimmick and presentation that could appeal to the WWE audience.
Moose
Moose has done everything possible in TNA, so it just seems like a matter of time before he eventually takes his talents elsewhere.
He has been open about his desire to one day compete in WWE. If the multi-time world champion is open to first working in NXT, he would be a great veteran for the black and gold brand before he makes the jump to the main roster. Moose could also be a potential candidate to be a member of 946 in the future.
The Hardys
The Hardys are not just one of the greatest tag teams in WWE and TNA history. They are one of the greatest ever in any promotion. However, everything ends, and with Matt being 52 years old and Jeff three years behind, they are very close to the end of their careers.
While they thoroughly enjoy their time in TNA, it would not be surprising if they were enticed by one last run in WWE. Furthermore, a legend like Matt Hardy may see the value in a return to the company that made him a star so he can start laying the groundwork for a post-career backstage role.
Santino Marella
One last fun possibility that many fans would love is fan favorite legend Santino Marella returning to WWE. He has served as an authority figure in TNA for several years now, and he brings a lot of value in that role. However, if he were available, bringing him back to be the general manager of NXT would be smart business for WWE. Especially with his daughter Arianna Grace on the black and gold brand.
