TNA Wrestling MUST Sign These 6 WWE Stars Released on Friday, Including Aleister Black
On Friday, WWE’s latest round of yearly roster cuts saw 23 veterans and prospects released from their current contracts. Some of the most notable names among the releases this week were every member of the Wyatt Sicks, Kairi Sane, and wrestling power couple Aleister Black and Zelina Vega. While it was bad news for those wrestlers, it drops a boatload of intriguing talents into pro wrestling free agency at a time when the industry is strong.
Including veteran performers that TNA Wrestling should take a hard look at signing soon. With that in mind, here are six former WWE stars TNA must target on the open market. Apollo Crews Credit: WWE At one time, Apollo Crews was one of the must-see performers on the independent scene because of his impressive athleticism.
Over a decade later, at 38, Crews is still an entertaining wrestler. But that was never his problem. It was always about finding a character that connects with fans and sticking with it for a while.
That is why he would be a better fit in TNA Wrestling as opposed to battling the AEW roster for the best match of the night. TNA focuses a bit more on character work, so if they could find something that connects him with the audience, Crews could be a big get for the promotion. Aleister Black & Zelina Vega Credit: WWE The obvious assumption will be that, following his release, Aleister Black will return to AEW, where he had real success before his second stint in WWE.
However, it would be smart for Carlos Silva to prioritize bringing Black and his wife, Zelina Vega, to TNA. Their release this week stunned many because they were often used on SmackDown and seemed to be hitting a groove as characters. In TNA, the duo could be pushed to the very top immediately and could be core members of the roster for the next few years while also making some good money.
