More TNA Wrestling Stars To Leave Soon

TNA

Over the past several months, there have been quite a few TNA Wrestling stars departing from the roster.

Recently, the likes of Steve Maclin, Dani Luna, Myla Grace and The Rascalz have all left the company whether it be through contract expiration or releases.

Considering all of the recent exits, it makes sense for more to be on their way and see a few other stars leaving the promotion in the near future.

Here are seven more TNA Wrestling stars to potentially leave soon.

7. Mike Santana

After re-signing with TNA Wrestling in 2024, Mike Santana immediately made his presence felt and emerged as a top star for the company.

Following a five-year stint with All Elite Wrestling, Santana looked to show the world that he had so much more to offer outside of being a tag team specialist and did just that.

Now, Santana is the reigning two-time TNA World Champion and sits at the mountaintop as the face of the promotion.

With his TNA contract set to expire in the coming months, it feels inevitable that Santana will leave the company and head to WWE after making several appearances as part of the working relationship over the past year.

6. Rich Swann

After some controversy outside of the squared circle, Rich Swann made his return to TNA Wrestling and has had a few standout performances.

With some stellar bouts against Mike Santana and AJ Francis under his belt, it feels like the former TNA World Champion still has a lot left in the tank.

Despite being a veteran with two decades of experience, Swann feels like a veteran that can shine in any promotion he heads to.

Since he is currently working without an official TNA Wrestling contract according to reports, it would make sense to see Swann head elsewhere before long.

5. Elayna Black

Signing with TNA Wrestling in January 2026, Elayna Black has become a major part of the Knockouts division.

Becoming one of the company’s most prominent female stars, Black has showcased what made her a top prospect on WWE NXT for several years.

Despite just signing with TNA, Black’s contract is only through 2026 and looks to expire sometime this year.

The former Cora Jade leaving TNA to head back to WWE seems almost destined to happen sometime down the line.

4. Tessa Blanchard

In 2024, Tessa Blanchard re-signed with TNA Wrestling and has once again become a top star in the Knockouts division.

Despite her status in the company, Blanchard has continued to appear in Mexico for CMLL.

The former TNA World Champion has not been able to regain gold with the company seemingly hesitant to commit to her in that way.

With the promotion’s connection with WWE who currently owns Lucha Libre AAA, it would make sense for Blanchard to leave TNA to make more appearances in CMLL where she is one of the most consistently featured female stars.

3. The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch)

Another pair of TNA Wrestling stars who recently signed with the company are The Righteous.

Vincent and Dutch have been heavily featured in a personal rivalry and storyline with The Hardys.

Having established characters that would work in WWE, The Righteous feel like a temporary fit for TNA Wrestling right now.

With the duo having talked with WWE in the past, it feels like The Righteous could one day leave TNA Wrestling and head to their partnered promotion.

2. The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy)

Since returning to TNA Wrestling in 2024, The Hardys have reemerged as the biggest stars and draws in the entire promotion.

Matt and Jeff Hardy have been a consistent presence at the top of the company and multi-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.

In 2025, The Hardys made their return to WWE and were able to capture the NXT Tag Team Champions.

With the working relationship with the promotion, The Hardys are more than likely to return to WWE for one more final run and look to garner the spotlight in a major way moving forward.

1. Leon Slater

Over the past few years, Leon Slater has become one of the most featured stars in TNA Wrestling today.

“The Youngest In Charge” made history in 2025 when he became the youngest X-Division Champion in TNA Wrestling history.

With his exciting in-ring style and undeniable star power, it seems like Slater will be too big of a star to stay in TNA for much longer.

Slater leaving TNA and heading to WWE or AEW will become one of the most intriguing and compelling free agent stories to watch unfold in 2026.
