Two Huge ROH Stars Making TNA Debut In January?

Their departure was not a real big surprise as people within ROH had been expecting them to leave for some time. This likely means they are done with New Japan Pro Wrestling as well.

TNA Looking To Sign Free Agents For POP TV Debut
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter , TNA is aggressively pursuing new talents as they head toward their debut on POP TV on January 5.
TNA lost a lot of talent in 2015, including Samoa Joe, James Storm, Magnus, Austin Aries, MVP, Kenny King among others. Kurt Angle’s deal ran out and he officially retired from TNA, plus Jeff & Matt Hardy’s contracts are set to expire within the next few months.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that TNA is interested in re-signing talent that has contracts expiring as well as outside free agents to help freshen up the brand.
One of the motivations for TNA’s desire to seek out free agents is to have a few surprises for their debut on POP TV on January 5.
