Bear Bronson Signs with TNA After Career Reinvention
Bear Bronson has officially signed with TNA Wrestling. The powerhouse wrestler announced the news during an exclusive interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com on Wednesday.
Bronson's signing comes after an impressive run in the company since his debut at TNA Final Resolution in December 2025. He quickly made an impact, challenging Frankie Kazarian for the TNA World Championship on New Year's Day in what many praised as a standout main event.
"After spending the entirety of 2025 completely reinventing myself, and having the best and most explosive year of my career, I am blessed to be able to say that I had every single major promotion knocking on my door," Bronson said.
He added: "Truthfully, I've always known in my heart where I knew I needed to be, and that's why it was a no-brainer when I got the opportunity to enter TNA Wrestling. It felt like a new home for me and the second they offered to sign me, I accepted."
Bronson's journey to TNA includes a significant reinvention period. After leaving AEW in June 2025 when his contract expired, he spent the year tearing up the independent circuit with promotions including GCW, Beyond Wrestling, Create-A-Pro, and Limitless Wrestling.
In previous interviews, Bronson described 2025 as "super rewarding and validating," noting he focused on "building the most authentic version of myself" rather than immediately chasing another television deal. That patient approach appears to have paid dividends.
Bronson's TNA status took a dramatic turn last week on Thursday Night iMPACT! when he was revealed as the newest member of The System. The faction then turned on former members Moose and JDC in a shocking betrayal.
The restructured System now features Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, and Cedric Alexander, who also debuted as a member during the same segment.
Fans can watch Bear Bronson and The System tonight on Thursday Night iMPACT! at 9/8c on AMC and AMC+ (US), Sportsnet 360 (Canada), and TNA+ worldwide.
