WWE
2026 has seen WWE sign a few new stars to their roster that have been making their name on Raw, SmackDown and NXT.
Whether it be Mason Rook and NARAKU on NXT or Danhausen and Royce Keys on the main roster, these recent signings have added a lot to the roster and become some of the most prominently featured talent on the company’s programming.
Looking at the current free agency market, there are quite a few potential signings that could be coming in the near future.
Here are six new WWE signings potentially coming soon.
6. Zilla Fatu
Since starting his wrestling career in 2023, Zilla Fatu has stated that he intends to sign with WWE one day.
Following in the footsteps of his cousins Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, Zilla has all the makings to be a WWE star sooner rather than later.
Most recently, Fatu was seen at the WWE Performance Center and has been discussed as a potential signing.
Zilla signing with WWE would be fitting and see him become a heavily featured act alongside the rest of The Bloodline.
5. Enzo Amore & Big Cass
Another free agent who has been seen at the WWE Performance Center in recent months is Enzo Amore.
This led to various reports indicating that Enzo could be on his way to signing with WWE in the near future.
These headlines came just after recent reports about Big Bill’s AEW contract set to expire, making Enzo’s former tag team partner a free agent as well.
Enzo and Big Cass reuniting in WWE would be a significant boost to the tag team scene that needs more of the spotlight following some recent departures from the promotion.
4. Baron Corbin
In November 2024, Baron Corbin’s WWE contract expired and saw him leave the company after a 12-year run.
Corbin, now known as Bishop Dyer, has reinvented himself outside of WWE for various promotions like Game Changer Wrestling, Maple Leaf Pro and Major League Wrestling.
Over the course of the past two years, Dyer has been making a name for himself and showing that he had much more to offer to WWE.
Dyer becoming Baron Corbin once again would be fitting and see WWE add an established star who can fill the void left by a few names who are out of action.
3. Leon Slater
As part of the working relationship with TNA Wrestling, Leon Slater has appeared on WWE TV on a number of occasions.
“The Youngest In Charge” became the youngest and tied for the longest reign as X-Division Champion.
In his appearances on WWE programming, Slater has shined and put on quality bouts against the likes of AJ Styles, Dragon Lee and Oba Femi.
It feels like a no-brainer signing for WWE to bring Slater into the company when his TNA deal expires later this year.
2. Persephone
Over the past several years, Persephone has been making her mark in Mexico for CMLL.
In 2026, Persephone officially signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling to become the latest dual contracted talent from CMLL.
Getting the spotlight in one of the biggest promotions in the world, the current CMLL Women’s World Champion has been garnering attention from other companies.
Persephone going on to sign with WWE one day feels inevitable at just 24 years old and everything she offers in the ring as well as a character.
1. Mike Santana
Since re-signing with TNA Wrestling in 2024, Mike Santana has become one of the faces of the company.
Among all of his accolades, Santana is now the reigning two-time TNA World Champion and arguably the biggest singles star in the promotion.
Recent reports have indicated that Santana’s TNA deal is about to expire and will see him gain interest from WWE when he is available.
Santana signing with WWE should lead to him becoming a top star on NXT or adding further depth to the main roster on Raw and SmackDown.
