Top TNA Wrestling Star Addresses Potentially Joining WWE

WWE

A top TNA Wrestling star has addressed the possibility of officially joining WWE, following previous appearances for the company.

Several TNA Wrestling stars have went on to sign with WWE after first appearing for the company as part of the two sides’ partnership, with Jordynne Grace and Joe Hendry finding permanent homes on WWE TV.

Speaking on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, TNA World Champion Mike Santana shared his honest stance on the possibility of making the jump himself.

When asked if he thinks or dreams about joining WWE, Santana said:

“I think for me honestly, I’m always focused on the task at hand, and always focus on what’s in front of me. Before I used to try to take on too much, and that does no good.

“I’ve learned to focus on the task at hand, do what I’ve got to do with what’s in front of me, and then when the time comes, I cross that bridge.

“Of course, I keep my ear to the ground. I always do my research, I always do my homework. I always keep an eye on what’s going on. Like you guys know, timing is everything, right?

“I watch, I study, I see how things are moving, but again, I’m focused on what’s in front of me right now. For however long I’m TNA champ, and however long I’m here, this is going to be my focus, what I do and this is what I’m going to rep, and when that time comes, we’ll cross that bridge and see how it goes.

“Of course, like you said, we all grew up watching WWE. We grew up with people that got into this business having aspirations of going there, and having moments and a great run.

“Of course that’s always been like a dream for me, but I also have learned to trust myself and trust the process. We’ll see where things go.”
