TNA reportedly interested in former WWE Intercontinental, United States champion
TNA Wrestling reportedly has interest in Apollo Crews.
The 38-year-old was part of the WWE roster cuts revealed on April 24. He had been with the company since 2014.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, there has been “chatter” in TNA about bringing in the former Intercontinental and United States champion. However, the report notes that it is unclear if the recent departures of Tommy Dreamer and Sami Callihan from TNA have impacted the situation.
The report also noted that it is unclear what Crews’ non-compete situation with WWE is.
If he is under a 90-day non-compete that began on April 24, it would not expire until around July 23. However, if Crews’ WWE contract expired rather than him being released, he may be free to sign elsewhere before then.
“Crews’ exact non-compete status is unknown, but as of this writing, it has not surpassed the 90-day mark if that is his situation,” Fightful’s report reads.
TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali is scheduled to defend his title at Slammiversary on June 28 against a mystery opponent.
