WWE News: Former TNA Champion Wants To Sign With WWE – Reveals Dream Match Possibilities


In the first half of this year, a number of stars have parted ways with TNA Impact Wrestling and gone on to other promotions or to do different things. Many are still kind of in limbo since leaving the company, but one former champion says she knows what she wants to do and where she wants to go. Velvet Sky has now let it be known that she wants to sign with WWE, and she even has a few dream matches already in mind.

Back in April, it was revealed that Velvet Sky would be leaving TNA after close to 10 years with the company. She is a former Knockouts Champion and had been a dominant force with the company for a long time. When people spoke of women’s wrestling in TNA, her name was always one of the first mentioned and remembered.

As a member of The Beautiful People with Angelina Love, the duo was on top of the women’s wrestling world in TNA for years. After all that time, though, Sky realized that it was time for her to move on and do something different as she told Sports Illustrated.

“Leaving TNA was best for me. I’d been there for almost ten years and I’d accomplished everything I wanted to do. My contract was coming up, and this was a business decision I made for myself. It was hard because there are so many memories there with the fans and the TNA family, but I don’t regret it. I look back on the career I had with TNA, and I’m so proud. I did what I set out to do, and I’m very proud of what I accomplished.”

Sky also talked about training for wrestling and how it ended up leading to her relationship with Bubba Ray Dudley. The two have been dating for a long time now, and they often make social media teases that the “Duchess of Dudleyville” will head to WWE one day.

She said that going to WWE and becoming a member of that women’s roster is what she’s dreamed of from the moment she started wrestling. After leaving TNA, she had just one goal in mind and that was to be a member of WWE.

“That is why I sacrificed right from the beginning. That is why I left college, and the reason why I wrestled every weekend. The indie scene is not glitz and glamour, but a chance with the WWE is the reason I did this from the very beginning. I would totally embrace any opportunity with the WWE.”

It’s obvious that Velvet Sky would love to be a part of WWE and she would honestly fit right in with the women’s division that is changing and progressing. She has wrestled some of the best women on the planet, but there are many names in WWE and NXT that she dreams of taking on in the ring.

Across the WWE main and developmental rosters, Velvet Sky could have matches against stars such as Asuka, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and the current Women’s Champion Charlotte. While those matches would be great, she does have two particular dream opponents in mind and thinks she would do well there.

“The women there are killing it, and empowering and building up the women would be a great role for me. Bayley is so much fun to watch wrestle. She has so much energy and passion, and the people feel her energy and feed off that. She’s so great at expressing herself, and she’s so genuine. Nattie Neidhart is also someone I’d love to work with. I’ve known her for a long time, and she is someone that I look up to and respect. She’s someone I’d love to learn even more from.”

Over the course of the past two years, a number of former TNA stars have ended up in WWE or NXT after parting ways with their former company. AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Eric Young, and Bobby Roode have all found a new home and Velvet Sky wants to show that women can do it too.

Velvet Sky is a very strong and talented superstar in the world of professional wrestling. She would make a great addition to the current WWE women’s roster as she proved herself in TNA for close to a decade. It’s not like she would need the help in being signed, but Bubba Ray Dudley may be able to put in a good word for her which could lead to dream matches against Bayley and Natalya.
