5-time WWE champion to leave NXT and join TNA's X-Division? Exploring the chances

2024 was filled with wrestlers from TNA appearing in WWE and vice versa as both promotions came together. Similarly, in 2025, wrestling fans could witness yet another exciting crossover as a five-time champion could leave WWE to join TNA.

The former champion in question is Cedric Alexander. Yesterday, WWE and TNA announced a multi-year partnership involving both promotions working together. On X/Twitter, Alexander quote tweeted the post and wrote a caption suggesting he could appear in TNA.

The 35-year-old wrestler wrote:

"X Division."

You can check out Cedric Alexander's tweet below:

It can be argued that in recent times, Cedric Alexander hasn't been used to the best of his abilities. This could lead to him joining TNA and honing his skills in the promotion. For all you know, Alexander could chase a title in the promotion, make a name for himself, and return to the Stamford-based promotion.

While the angle is speculative, there is a high chance it could happen, given Alexander isn't getting a lot of screen time. If a move like this happens in 2025, it will be interesting to see how he fits into the scheme of things at TNA.

With several ex-WWE Superstars currently in TNA, it will be interesting to see which superstar uses this opportunity as a means to make a comeback to the former promotion. Due to this deal, there is a chance superstars like Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, and Dolph Ziggler could return.
