10 wrestling free agents who need to be signed by a company in 2025

Being a free agent in the professional wrestling business can be a huge advantage for certain select performers, including factors such as scheduling, pricing and creative control, but major wrestling promotions such as WWE, AEWTNA and NJPW would love to have exclusivity on some of these free agent wrestlers.

The following names are free agents currently on the market who are not currently wrestling or competing on the independent scene, but given their quality, star power, and potential value to a company, they should be signed in 2025 to maximize their success.

Mandy Rose

Rose has untapped potential after WWE release

Mandy Rose was on her way to becoming a major WWE star before her untimely release from the company. Since then, it’s been a shock that no other promotion has picked her up. She has proven herself capable of being the face of an entire brand. So she would definitely add to any current women’s division.

Rose is still only 34 years old, which means she still has many years left to get back into wrestling and explore her prime. There’s still a lot of potential and she could well be an asset to a promotion like TNA or AEW, unless WWE wants to give her another chance.

The Bollywood Boyz

An entertaining tag team with personality

Gurv and Harv Shira of the Bollywood Boyz may not have the potential to lead an entire division, but they provide constant entertainment, connection with fans and guaranteed quality between the ropes that would make them an asset to any promotion. professional wrestling.

They have been used here and there in AEW and ROH, and they should be signed as they would provide a solid undercard act to the tag team division.

Indie Hartwell

Hartwell has so much potential

Indi Hartwell’s release to WWE in 2024 was a surprise considering her improvements and the fact that she possesses great charisma. All of her positives suggest that she really should be signed by another major promotion, whether it’s AEW or TNA.

Hartwell is still young and has many years ahead of her to succeed in the professional wrestling business, especially since she has had such a passion for so long.

Ronda Rousey

If used correctly, Ronda Rousey is a draw

Ronda Rousey’s stock in the professional wrestling world is quite low after an unsuccessful second run in WWE, but as her brief appearance in ROH showed, she can put on a very good match and there is still plenty of the place to make him a star.

AEW Grand Slam: Australia 2025 is the next big event for the company! Which matches are likely to take place?

Whether WWE tries to give her another chance (this time with much better booking) or AEW brings her in to add some serious star power and name value, someone should take a chance on Rousey in 2025 while she is still in her early years.

Donovan’s Student

Dijak is a phenomenal in-ring performer

As he has proven time and time again in NXT, Dijak is one heck of a wrestler and can steal any show with the right opponent. This is why he would benefit from a promotion like TNA, ROH or elsewhere as the foundation of a midcard division.

Dijak is currently competing on the free agent scene as a free agent, but in 2025 he will need to be signed and pushed. He never managed to reach his full potential in WWE despite having impressive size and great matches.

Matt Cardona

Cardona should have been signed by now

Matt Cardona has been one of the biggest names in the independent scene for years, winning major titles and working in various promotions including TNA, AEW, NWA, GCW and more. Considering his great work and the fact that he’s become a world title contender in several promotions, it’s a huge shock that no one has signed him. 2025 has to be the year someone finally brings him in full-time, because it will soon be too late to truly capitalize on his quality and excellence.

The IIconics

Their personalities will benefit any women’s division

Peyton Royce and Billie Kay offered so much charisma and personality to the WWE women’s division so their exits came as a big shock because they had so much going for them. Their run in TNA was solid but brief, and they each took a leave of absence from the industry. In 2025, AEW or WWE will have to integrate them, thus adding infectious characters to their respective divisions.

They could lead the line in WWE’s women’s tag team division, or each become a singles star wherever they go.

Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze still has something to offer

Tyler Breeze was once on the verge of becoming a notable singles star in WWE after a great run in NXT, although that never happened. He once again showed his quality in Breezango’s team, but he was ultimately fired from the company, remaining a free agent ever since.

He finally returned to the ring in the last couple of years after taking a break, but he has yet to be signed by a major promotion. In 2025, Breeze’s potential needs to be realized and “Prince Pretty” needs one more chance to become a singles star (or else join MxM in AEW, which would be perfect).

Samantha Irvin

Irvin can be a great personality without struggle

Samantha Irvin left WWE in 2024 when she was on the cusp of being considered one of the best ring announcers in the promotion’s history. This was due to her wanting to play a bigger role in the series as a character.

Whether it’s WWE bringing her back or her partner Ricochet in AEW, Irvin should be signed and used in some capacity, as she is far too talented to be away from the professional wrestling industry.

Mustafa Ali

Ali has Main Event potential

Mustafa Ali is immensely talented and has the potential to become a world champion in any promotion on the planet. This is why 2025 cannot see him continue to be a simple free agent, and he should instead be signed to a big company.

Ali was on the cusp of a WWE main event before the injuries, creative changes and constant burials, but there’s plenty of time for him to overcome that and continue to climb the ranks.
