However, uncertainty surrounds the potential for a deal between TNA and Crews. This is partly due to TNA's recent workforce reduction moves, which saw several personnel and talents depart the company last week. Tommy Dreamer and Sami Callihan, both behind-the-scenes personnel, left the promotion. Additionally, talents such as Tessa Blanchard, Steve Maclin, and Myla Grace requested and were granted their releases from TNA.
Another factor in Crews' potential move is his availability. While Mustafa Ali is scheduled to defend the TNA International Championship in an open challenge this Sunday at Slammiversary, and Crews has been discussed as an ideal opponent, it remains unclear if he would be free to compete. It is not confirmed whether Crews is currently under a standard 90-day non-compete clause with WWE, which would keep him from signing with TNA or any other promotion until July.
A move to TNA would mark Apollo Crews' first stint with the company. Prior to signing with WWE in early 2015, Crews had an extensive career on the independent circuit. He gained significant recognition during his multi-year run with Dragon Gate in Japan, where he competed under the name Uhaa Nation. During his time there, he notably won the Open the Twin Gate Championships alongside BxB Hulk.
