TNA Wrestling’s mysterious Syx faction may not be finished growing.
While the group currently consists of Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, recent comments from Matt Hardy suggest that additional members could eventually be added as the storyline continues to unfold.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy discussed the arrival of Sawyer and Shaw in TNA following their time in WWE. He praised both performers for bringing name recognition and credibility to the promotion while also carrying forward elements of the supernatural presentation that made Bray Wyatt’s creative projects so memorable.
Hardy was particularly complimentary of Sawyer, describing him as a versatile performer capable of excelling in multiple wrestling styles.
The conversation eventually shifted to speculation about whether Bo Dallas could join the faction in the future. While Hardy did not confirm any plans involving Dallas, he hinted that the group’s name itself may provide a clue about where the angle is heading.
Hardy pointed out that the faction is called “Syx,” questioning why TNA would choose that name if the intention was only to feature two members rather than six.
The comment has fueled speculation that TNA could be planning to expand the group in the months ahead. Whether that includes Dallas or other former members associated with WWE’s Wyatt Sicks remains unclear, as Hardy stopped short of naming any potential additions.
For now, Syx remains one of TNA’s most intriguing developing storylines. However, Hardy’s remarks suggest the current lineup may only be the beginning, with more members potentially waiting in the wings as the faction evolves.
Joseph Sawyer & Samuel Shaw (FKA Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis) Arrive On TNA Impact
Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, known to WWE fans as Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, made their arrival on last night’s live episode of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC.
The reveal came after several weeks of mystery attacks backstage, including an assault on Jeff Hardy. Determined to uncover who was responsible, Matt Hardy continued investigating the incidents. Last week’s episode established that two individuals were behind the attacks, setting the stage for this week’s confrontation.
With Jeff Hardy back by his side, The Hardys came to the ring and called out the attackers. Moments later, the arena lights flickered and a fight broke out. When the lights came back on, two masked men were standing over Matt and Jeff.
The pair then removed their masks and were revealed to be Sawyer and Shaw.
Adding to the debut, the Titantron displayed the name “Syx,” seemingly introducing a new identity for the duo while also nodding to their time as members of the Wyatt Sicks faction in WWE.
Shaw also debuted a different appearance, sporting short hair and a mustache reminiscent of his pre-Wyatt Sicks look.
The arrival marks a return to familiar territory for Shaw, who previously competed in TNA under the Samuel Shaw name. For Sawyer, however, the appearance represents his first run with the promotion.
With the mystery attackers now revealed, TNA has added another notable team to its roster and placed them immediately in the orbit of The Hardys.
Former WWE stars Joe Gacy (Joseph Sawyer) and Dexter Lumis (Sam Shaw) are expected to join TNA Wrestling and may be revealed as the mystery attackers behind recent backstage assaults on TNA iMPACT
The TNA Knockouts division gained a major new addition on this week’s episode of TNA Impact as former WWE star Zoey Serrano, formerly known as Zoey Stark, made her surprise debut.
Zoey Serrano Arrives In TNA
Following the crowning of the inaugural Knockouts TV Champion, M By Elegance, the focus shifted to ongoing tensions between Indi Hartwell and TNA official Daria Rae.
Hartwell attempted to pressure Daria into granting her a match when she was suddenly blindsided from behind by Serrano. As Hartwell lay on the mat, Daria watched on before introducing Serrano as the newest member of the Knockouts division and a personal friend.
The surprise attack immediately established Serrano as an ally of Daria and put her at odds with Hartwell.
Indi Hartwell’s Title Pursuit Hits Another Roadblock
Later in the show, Hartwell continued lobbying for a Knockouts Championship opportunity.
Backstage, she crossed paths with champion Xia Brookside, who mocked her while Harley Hudson looked on.
Santino Marella appeared willing to grant Hartwell a championship match, but Daria reminded him of Hartwell’s previous disciplinary issues, including a verbal confrontation and a prior physical altercation that resulted in a suspension.
According to Daria, the TNA board will determine whether Hartwell is eligible for a title opportunity.
Until then, a tag team match has been announced for next week’s Impact, with Xia Brookside and Zoey Serrano set to face Indi Hartwell and Harley Hudson.
Former WWE Star Begins New Chapter
Serrano is best known to wrestling fans as Zoey Stark, a standout performer during her WWE run.
She signed with WWE in 2021 and quickly established herself as one of the company’s rising stars. During her time in NXT, she captured the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Iyo Sky.
However, injuries repeatedly interrupted her momentum. Stark suffered a torn MCL and meniscus in 2021 before later enduring a devastating knee injury that included tears to her ACL, MCL, and meniscus.
After spending nearly a year recovering, she was reportedly medically cleared shortly before being released as part of WWE’s post-WrestleMania 42 roster cuts.
Now competing under the name Zoey Serrano, the former WWE star has officially arrived in TNA and immediately made an impact.
With her alliance with Daria Rae already established and a match against Indi Hartwell set for next week, Serrano’s TNA career is off to a heated start.
