TNA
In April 2026, Dani Luna requested and was granted her release from TNA Wrestling.
After spending over two years with the promotion, Luna had made a name for herself and even further established herself on the independent scene.
Now, recent reports have indicated that Luna could be heading to All Elite Wrestling in the near future.
Here are eight potential AEW debut opponents for Dani Luna upon her arrival to the company.
8. Maya World
On the independent scene, Dani Luna really turned heads and made waves in Deadlock Pro-Wrestling.
The AEW women’s division features several ladies who also solidified themselves in DPW.
In 2026, one of the newest stars who have stood out from the pack is Maya World.
As someone who Dani Luna knows well from their time in DPW, Maya could rekindle things with the UK star upon her debut in AEW.
7. Hyan
Speaking of Maya World, she was signed to an AEW contract alongside her tag team partner Hyan.
In DPW, Hyan and Dani Luna had one of the most memorable and intense rivalries in the promotion.
While World has broken out as TBS Champion, Hyan has fallen behind her friend and not gotten the same opportunities.
Needing a spark, Hyan could use her established feud with Luna to get the spotlight she will garner for her AEW debut.
6. Queen Aminata
Another former DPW alumni who is on the AEW roster is Queen Aminata.
Over the course of their time in Deadlock Pro-Wrestling, Aminata and Dani Luna were consistent figures in the DPW Women’s World Championship picture.
With her hard hitting style, Aminata has been widely considered one of the most underrated in-ring performers in the AEW women’s scene.
Queen Aminata opening the door for Dani Luna’s arrival in AEW would be fitting and give fans a memorable hard hitting clash in the women’s division.
5. Marina Shafir
Someone else who has made a name for themselves on the independent scene is Marina Shafir.
In All Elite Wrestling, Shafir has been a regular part of the company’s programming as a member of The Death Riders.
Dani Luna is someone who thrives in intense battles with other fighters inside the squared circle.
Offering a different kind of match, Luna could be met by Marina Shafir when she finally walks into AEW.
4. Lena Kross
In another case of DPW alumni colliding, Lena Kross could be another interesting debut opponent for Dani Luna.
When Kross arrived in Deadlock Pro-Wrestling, she first faced none other than Luna in the first round of the Battle of the Best tournament.
Since her arrival in All Elite Wrestling, Kross has aligned with Megan Bayne to become Divine Dominion and went on to win the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships.
After losing the gold, Kross might need to bounce back in singles competition, making her an ideal opponent for Dani Luna if she signs with AEW.
3. Megan Bayne
Speaking of Lena Kross, her Divine Dominion tag team partner Megan Bayne has become one of the most feared competitors in the AEW women’s division.
While Bayne did not make her way to DPW, “The Megasus” is no stranger to the indies and around the world.
Through her work in AEW, STARDOM and GCW, Bayne has become known as one of the most versatile performers in women’s wrestling today.
Bayne colliding with Dani Luna could make for a show-stealer on any card and would be a great way to debut someone in All Elite Wrestling.
2. Skye Blue
Speaking of AEW stars who has been turning heads on the independent scene, Skye Blue has become a breakout star through her work outside of the company.
In promotions like Pro Wrestling: EVE, Skye has been displaying a more sadistic and blood-thirsty side of her persona.
Considering their similar styles, Blue could make for the perfect debut opponent for Dani Luna.
Blue going to war with Luna is something that just writes itself and could be the best way to introduce the former TNA Wrestling star to the AEW audience.
1. Kris Statlander
As a day-one AEW original, Kris Statlander has been one of the stalwarts of the women’s division.
Over the course of the past seven years, “The Cosmic Killer” has been a consistent in-ring performer and someone who has been a gatekeeper for the company.
Looking at her style, Statlander would make for a formidable opposition for Dani Luna.
Considering their in-ring skills, Statlander and Luna could deliver something special in the ring with one another that will not only put themselves front and center, but the entire AEW women’s scene.
