5 Things Wrong with TNA Talents heading to WWE

Over the past few months, TNA has been losing some of its most treasured talents to WWE. All of the new recruits have gained world wide fame before making it to the WWE. It all started last year when Samao Joe made a surprise debut in WWE’s developmental company, NXT.

Back in January, news broke out that former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and arguably the biggest stars in the business in this age, AJ Styles was headed to the WWE. Soon, we saw AJ’s debut in the company and now, he’s feuding with Roman Reigns over the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Two biggest names in TNA debuting in WWE? Not a big deal. But that wasn’t it. A week after AJ’s debut, Austin Aries made his debut into the company. Booby Roode was also present at NXT:Takeover, Dallas, hinting that he is coming to the company. And, to everyone’s surprise, his best friend, Eric Young debuted last week on NXT. These things have made us wrestling fans more than happy. But unfortunately, this also means bad news for some people. Here are 5 things that could go wrong with TNA Talents in WWE.

1. Uninvited yet inevitable heat.

The big new former TNA Stars are here to stay, that’s for sure. But, all of these guys age between 35-40 years. Also, their legacy and their achievements, would prevent them from staying in the mid-card picture forever. So it is possible that each one of them, might (or might not) get their shot on the big one. But they are too many and the rumours are indicating that more star-studded middle aged superstars are on their way to the company.

This situation plays an important part in deciding the future of the company. Younger talents of WWE, might not even get their equally deserved shot at the big one! That is certainly a huge problem for the company. With talents like Tyler Breeze, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, etc being buried to the core and fan favourite Damien Sandow being released, the young guns need to work twice as hard as before to get themselves their fair share of the limelight.

And, if things go wrong, these former TNA World Champions, could get major heat in the locker room, making their run with WWE, a little troublesome.

2. Possibilities of misuse

WrestleMania 32 was AJ Styles’s WrestleMania debut. He went on to put on an amazing match against Y2J, Chris Jericho. But the outcome was disappointing for almost everyone. AJ Styles, the biggest name in pro-wrestling right now, lost his debut match at Wrestlemania. It was heartbreaking.

What if Young, Joe, Roode or Aries face the same fate? What if they become a victim to WWE’s infamous misbookings? What if their presumed big-break turns out to be a huge disappointment for their careers? For all we know, WWE has done this in the past and can do it in the future. And with so many big guns heading to the company, the chances of this happening are more than ever.

3. The Gimmick Problem

Gimmicks in WWE have made many careers legendary and have made some easily forgettable. WWE has a habit of giving their superstars ridiculously irrelevant and cringe-worthy gimmicks. So, it is highly possible that one of these ex-TNA Superstars might end up being a victim to this. Imagine Austin Aries or Eric Young coming to the ring in animal-themed outfits and cutting such promos.

The horror of those thoughts alone makes you wanna punch your TV. And WWE has been known to ruin the careers of promising superstars by using this tactic. Some recent examples include Adam Rose, Tyler Breeze, Bo Dallas, Damien Sandow, etc. The possibility of this happening with the TNA Stars is comparatively low. But this business is full of surprises, both good and bad.

4. Failure in achieving the big one.

Over the years, there have been many legendary wrestlers who haven’t had the opportunity to get the one that matters the most. This could be the case with one of these gentlemen. Why? Because they joined the WWE too late. People like Ricky Steamboat, Jake The Snake, Razor Ramon, among many others, have failed to get their hands on the WWE Championship.

Some of these men might as well accomplish that goal. But “Who?”, that is the question. Either ways, all of them are equally talented and if even one of them gets left out, its gonna be painful.

5. Get in Roman Reigns’s way.

Roman Reigns. The man who is going to take the torch from John Cena and reign the company for the years to come. He is going to be over most of the time. If you haven’t noticed it yet, watch WWE Payback 2016. AJ Styles put him over OR in simple words, make him look stronger, by selling a spear from the man and take the pin.

AJ Styles, again, the best worker in the whole world lost to an average wrestler only because he is Vince’s chosen one. It has already happened to AJ, but luckily, he will eventually get his hands on the gold anyways. But what about Roode, Young, Joe and Aries? Do they too have to put a wrestler who is less-talented than them? It is probably going to happen. But when it does, it is going to break our hearts.
