 What's good charge boy Ross back again with another video, so we're gonna check out 10 most successful TNA to WWE Transitions now I didn't watch too much TNA Back back in the day I didn't watch it But I did know you know saying some of the guys that are wearing WWE obviously went over to TNL at some point And then some of the guys that were homegrown in TNA or you know, really Really, you know built up the TNA brand ending up coming over to WWE at some point So we're gonna check out some of these moments a lot of these I probably didn't even know should be a great video Appreciate all love and support man Shout out to what coast for cultural wrestling linked to the original video will be down below Know that AJ Styles and Samoa Joe left TNA and totally smashed it There are other stars that have done this as well But the real litmus test was making it to WWE and see how they got treated It was a total roller coaster, which is why today many have forgotten about some truly awesome jumps I am silent for what culture and this is the 10 most successful TNA to WWE transitions number 10 abyss that's right despite never appearing as his mass character in WWE Chris park has been super successful in the promotion. You just never see him This is because he was hired as a producer in 2019 and by all accounts is doing a great job That must be true too as sometimes people can come and go in that role. It's a bit like an open-door policy But park is now a mainstay It's quite let's go to see you may recall There was a tease of some on-camera action when he was briefly AJ Styles his statistician back in 2020 I didn't go anywhere Mostly as it was during the pandemic where nothing made sense I still hope one day he can have the match he deserves even if it comes and goes as a memory That dude gave everything to TNA and it sounds like it's a similar situation now. He has smashed it number nine Night another one that goes under the radar. Eli. I didn't know that. I actually did not know he Came from TNA did not know that Drake as he was known in TNA won the world title the tag titles And he was the king of the mountain. He was also well known for his character work outside Oh, wow Assumed he would go on to bigger and better even though he hasn't won a championship in WWE apart from a brief of a million dollar belt down in NXT Hopefully that changes a good run there a main roster call-up was always on the cards and sure It started oddly when he was recast as Max Dupree the leader of the wonderful Maximum male models But ever since triple eight switched him back to the more familiar LA night. The dude has been on fire You don't get fans shouting. Yeah by fluke. He's a prominent character now Thanks to his feud with me why I'm having a second with the undertaker plus. He's reliable I hope now the spooky-wookie stuff is done. We don't forget about him The man has so much more to give plus. He's damn entertaining. Please. Please give him a push Somehow some way this year, please Number eight Selena Vega. This is nuts. No, no, no, no 32 years old and yet she made her TNA debut in 2011 Wow being ahead of the game Rosita as she was known then won the TNA knockouts tag titles pretty quickly too and started the Mexican America faction alongside Hernandez and an art queer so she arrived and did everything why not? She was soon picked up by WWE where she was teamed with Andrade as he plowed forward to become the NXT champion When they got called up to the main roster Naturally, certainly neither of them were ever booked in the same way under Vince McMahon and yes There was some controversy with the term independent contractor that led to Vega being released Talent never sleeps and before you knew it She was back that resulted in a queen of the ring victory where Selena was able to strut around in a crown Whereas in 2022 she became the mouthpiece for legato del fantasma and Smackdown. It was a pretty good effort It also means Vega has proven herself as a valuable part of the roster Long may that continue number seven Wesley the rascals were a very good impact team WWE saw this to and brought them on board in 2020 as MSK and almost instantly they were pushed They won the Dusty Rhodes classic and the NXT tag titles pretty quickly Plus they got to hang out with Matt Riddle for a while now that does sound pointless, but actually it carries a lot of weight WWE wanted to make sure there was a spotlight on him It hit a bit of a stumbling block when Nash Carter was released following a controversial online happening with his ex-wife And everyone then thought this spelled doom for Wes Lee More so when he was stripped of the tag team belts and vanished from television This is the issue of being one part of a pairing However, rather than fade away Lee weathered the storm returned in 2022 Never since has raised his game no end as I speak to you He is still the North American champion and the quality of his matches. They absolutely rock It also tells the audience he has what it takes as a single star when that roar or Smackdown call comes There's no reason he can't fit in there, too He as long as they blow come correctly. I hopefully triple H can help with that He's got it soon. It's been a crazy ride since those TNA days But when all is said and done kind of feel like he's gonna be more than okay number six Bobby Roode as we learned This I did Roode's many years of throwing himself onto the ground have caught up with him and he needs back surgery So straight away we sent him nothing but the best ever since he debuted in TNA in 2004 though He wasted no time at all while he started as a pretty cool member of team Canada Roode soon went all JBL on us as he played a rich boy heel before jumping again into beer money One of the most successful teams in TNA history It all continued when he and James Storm used that to ignite an awesome few which culminated when Bobby became the world champion This was really good TV. It's why triple H and NXT eventually came calling and along with his glorious theme song It all carried on I mean Super over in a more to win the NXT title before losing it to Drew McIntyre Who was basically following the same blueprint and sure Drew has been pushed harder But Roode was able to find a place for himself alongside Dolph Ziggler and I tell you when he is back with triple H controlling his fate I would watch this space number five Samoa Joe. Hopefully whenever he does come back He can get a solid solid run under triple H's rule We mentioned him in the intro and we must do it here, too Samoa Joe is an old timer for he smashed it in TNA He smashed it in WWE and if Vince McMahon and understand the man more, I've no doubt he would have become world champion I may make a video about that I may actually do a video of Vince McMahon's Blunders on people that should have been world champions and when they should have been world champions Because there's a few people that I just I just felt like it only made sense For them to be world champion at some point and Samoa Joe is one of those people for sure That awesome match with Brock Lesnar Joe can hang with anyone He was also only one of five men who wanted TNA Grand Slam as he just picked up titles for fun And don't forget when NXT got him He was offered an amazing deal sure you can perform here But you could also sell your own merchandise and do other bookings. He's a true independent contractor That didn't last long as WWE realized his value so locked him down full-time and then he just ran through everyone Yeah, he defeated Finn Balad to become the NXT champion and on his first night on Raw He got to choke out Seth Rollins Joe throughout was totally viable as a major threat He would soon return to NXT where he won the world championship once more when Nonsense saw him fired Re-hired and then fired again never have happened, but no matter how you look at it Samoa has found his way. No matter the promotion. He's a forever hero as far as I'm concerned So it puts a foot roll number four Xavier Woods As he was known in TNA and sure he didn't have the success there that others had on this list But he did have a solid tag team with our truth and Jay lethal and won the tag titles before getting released in 2010 now that is ridiculous knowing what we know now because wwe picked him up in 2013 and look what he did grab the opportunity by the horns He never let go it was an interesting start as he was re-teamed with truth and basically treated like a comedy figure until one fateful night in 2014 he tried to fellow friends Kofi Kingston and Big E and they decided to reverse their fortunes They should come together as the new day and do I need to say anything else? No, I do not have the new day that they catapulted them They weren't supposed to get as over as they did but they did There's simple as that. They were not supposed to be as over as they were But they got over To the point where cereal was made for these guys and merchandise was just Just just flying off the shelves I don't know what to tell you man Ever since they have just been on a tear winning title after title and cementing the group a short fire Even after almost a decade they still find a way to entertain me They rock Woods was also able to achieve his dream of becoming the king of the ring. Oh, yeah You can't criticize this the guy totally gets it number three Mickey James So fans may not be aware of this But while during the second part of her career Mickey James was very successful in TNA It's where she kicked it all off to debuting in 2002 as Alexis Laurie She joined James Mitchell was also part of this and ejected James from the company after hurling a fireball into her face But there was a reason for this Mickey was going to WWE It was full step ahead from there as she kicked off that few with Trish strat which was excellent And she won the women's world title at WrestleMania 22, which was only her 10th match in the company It was just a start as Mickey also retired leader at Survivor Series and went on to pick up gold on six different occasions This was also done during a time when the female talent had to fight tooth and nail for proper opportunities She's another that will get in the Hall of Fame as soon as she wants it James is officially a legend offer to CM Punk Well, we all forget about this Good reason for it CM Punk is synonymous with Ring of Honor given his track record there But before all of that he didn't need pop up in TNA This actually ties into what we just talked about because yep, he was in the gathering too as why everyone was flocking to Raven The irony punk would team with him as well alongside Julio De Nero as they had a few decent matches before Ring of Honor Decided they didn't want to work with TNA anymore, so they shut the door There's not really much else that can be said because we all know the success CM went on to have But if we are plotting his journey, it does indeed go through TNA. So that counts It's my list the big question is of course what punk does next but regardless it will be a big deal as he's a big deal I wouldn't dare call it though. It really is impossible to try and figure out AJ Styles I mean if you didn't get this before you click play on this video. You have never watched AJ Styles Not only was he the face of TNA and really should have been utilized as such Styles has just been amazing everywhere Yeah, he is one of the best ever the story gets even better because even AJ assumed he would never get to WWE due to how they saw wrestling and yet he did arrive and thanks to his skill level became the world champion This is just the coolest and reminds you to always bet on yourself I can't even go through all his TNA accolades as we'd be here all day But just know he was changing the game and winning as many belts as he possibly could without him I'm not sure total non-stop action hangs around as much as it did and for fun Just go and pick any match and see what it's like 99% of the time you'll get a banger he will without doubt go into the hall of fame eventually and before then who knows Styles is in his mid 40s, but he's still so damn good. He could keep performing for another decade at this rate It's absolutely fine by me. No other wrestlers that had successful transitions from TNA to WWE Make sure you let us know in the comments below and then don't forget AJ Styles as he's got it. What are we talking about? I missed the TNA himself coming to WWE and just Lighten it up Lighten it up great views great matches You'll be interested to see what they do with him. I know he is part of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament Would not have a problem if AJ Styles is one of the finalists and AJ Styles versus Seth Rollins at Night of Champions I wouldn't have a problem. I honestly would not care Sign me up. I'm cool if it's edge But I'm even better if it's AJ because AJ can use that rub. AJ hadn't really been another major Come back from injury. I'm all for it Okay, yeah, put it on them. I don't care. It's AJ Styles He I don't think anyone would be upset. I know I think Everyone's expecting it to be Seth But if AJ is the one to win it, they surprise everybody. I don't think anybody would be upset with that. I Don't know. I don't understand how you could be the guy is Phenomenal still so we'll see how that plays out this Friday, but hey man Comment down below. Let me know some other TNA to WWE Transitions that y'all felt like should have been on this list man But I appreciate all love and support guys shown on channel roll 250 K9.
