Alex Hammerstone Potentially Headed to TNA

:tna:

TNA Wrestling has started their year off to an interesting start. The company began 2024 by re-signing some top stars and a well-received pay-per-view event. Although the departure of former TNA President Scott D'Amore may have lowered some fan and talent morale, the company's potential next signee could restore excitement to the brand.

Mike Johnson at PWInsider reports that TNA is looking to sign Alex Hammerstone.

Hammerstone competed for the company this year at TNA Hard To Kill on January 13 against Josh Alexander. The two had a back-and-forth matchup, which saw the former Impact World Champion be victorious.

Hammerstone is currently a free agent, but the report shares that fans should expect him to head to TNA. It also added that the company is interested in getting a deal done but can't confirm it's finalized yet.

The free agent decided to leave Major League Wrestling on January 1. Since then, he has competed for various independent wrestling promotions, including Game Changer Wrestling and New Tradition Lucha Libre. Hammerstone is currently the NTLL Heavyweight Championship and is set to defend his title against Sam Adonis on March 16. It's unclear if Hammerstone's signing with TNA could affect the results of the match or future independent wrestling dates.

While the company is dealings with a vital office shake-up, they are seemingly still looking to impact the wrestling business in 2024.

TNA locking down Hammerstone with a deal would be another great addition to the roster. The company has featured new free agents like Nic Nemeth, AJ Francis, and Ash By Elegance. They have also drawn attention recently with independent star Mustafa Ali defeating Chris Sabin at TNA No Surrender to win the X-Division Championship.

The current roster is also trying to move forward after the firing of D'Amore and make the best of the situation. Fightful Select reported that TNA's parent company, Anthem Sports & Entertainment, and roster members met to discuss TNA's future.

Although morale is not what it was at the start of the year, it is seemingly doing better after the meeting. The new signees and fresh matchups could build back the excitement of what the company envisioned for 2024.
