NXT Spoiler: Two More Former TNA Stars To Join WWE?

By Brad Hamilton / November 20, 2015

With the recent influx of talent from TNA - including Samoa Joe, The Dudley Boyz and most recently James Storm - WWE has clearly reversed their position of not wanting anything to do with former TNA talents. Now you can place two more names on the list of potential additions to the thriving developmental promotion. Former TNA World Champion Austin Aries was spotted arriving at Full Sail University, the location where NXT tapes its programming. Aries, who most recently worked for Ring of Honor but is still appearing on TNA due to their advanced taping schedule, stopped to sign autographs for fans before making his way into the venue. While his presence has been confirmed by a photo posted to Twitter, he didn't appear in the ring or as part of the tapings... but speculation is he was there to hold talks with WWE about a potential working agreement. We should recall that James Storm appeared backstage at NXT first in a similar manner before then agreeing a deal with WWE.

In addition to Aries, it's also been reported that Gunner is backstage as well. Just last month Gunner spoke to Channel Guide Mag and made it apparent his goal is to work for WWE and even added that there have been "some talks going on." If his appearance at Full Sail is any indication, the former Marine may be getting his wish. Stay tuned for updates on what role, if any, these two will have with NXT.
