The ongoing WWE–TNA partnership continues to create excitement, not just through major crossover appearances but also by shaping WWE’s scouting focus.
A recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reveals that WWE officials are eyeing two current TNA stars – Mike Santana and Joe Hendry. Dave Meltzer wrote,
“Similar to how Jordynne Grace’s involvement in the TNA deal paved her way to WWE, there’s now growing WWE interest in Mike Santana and Joe Hendry.”
Joe Hendry has already appeared several times on WWE NXT, earning strong fan reactions. Meanwhile, Mike Santana, who recently made his TNA return, is reportedly catching the attention of WWE scouts.
With the “forbidden door” between WWE and TNA now wide open — and Jordynne Grace’s successful WWE run as proof — a wave of TNA talent making its way to WWE programming appears increasingly likely.
