10 TNA Stars That Should Make The Jump To WWE

9. Lashley

Lashley, of course, had a run with WWE from 2005 to 2008, when he left them on his own terms. In that short stretch of time, he reigned as United States champion and ECW champion (twice), headlined a pay-per-view with John Cena for the WWE Championship, and represented Donald Trump at WrestleMania 23. He was set to be the next big thing until he got hurt in the summer of 2007 and never returned, leaving the following February due to backstage politics. If you think he's the same one-dimensional wrestler he was a decade ago, think again. After his first stint with TNA flopped in 2009, he made a comeback to the company in 2014 where he quickly captured the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and embarked on one of the most dominant reigns in the organization's history. He showed major potential as a heel as well as marked improvement as a worker and a character. His mic work is still mediocre at best, but that's what mouthpieces are for. Isn't Paul Heyman accepting applications for new clients at the moment? At any rate, he has unfinished business in WWE and returning with his updated skill-set would surely turn a few heads in the back. He could even achieve what he set out to do eight years ago and capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship that alluded him during his last run.
