TNA Wrestling signs YouTube streamer BDE to full-time contract
YouTube streamer and pro wrestler BDE is now officially under a TNA Wrestling contract, first reported on The Sportster and then announced by the promotion.
BDE (Brandon Collymore/BrandonDoesEverything) made his TNA debut at last October’s Bound for Glory as part of the Call Your Shot gauntlet and has returned for four additional matches including the first-ever Christmas Surprise match on the year-end edition of Impact.
“It’s honestly a dream come true, for real. It’s kind of cool that this is happening on the week of my one year wrestling anniversary. I had my first match on January 9th in 2025, so for this to all come full circle around the same time is really cool,” he told The Sportster, noting he signed just before Christmas.
The 26-year-old will be part of TNA’s debut on AMC next Thursday and next Saturday’s Genesis pay-per-view from Garland, Texas.
The Atlanta native by way of New Jersey has more than one million YouTube subscribers. He made his in-ring debut last January for Wrestling Revolver.
