5 Wrestlers World Series Wrestling Should Sign

For over 20 years World Series Wrestling (WSW) has carved out its niche as Australia’s premier destination for top international pro wrestling stars. From AJ Styles to Ricochet, from Brian Cage to Matt Cardona, WSW has opened its doors to some of the industry’s biggest and best — a veritable who’s who of elite talent. But as the wrestling world keeps shifting, opportunities are popping up for free agents and rising stars to step into the WSW spotlight.

Here are five stars who have yet to grace a WSW ring — but absolutely should. Whether it’s a former WWE powerhouse, a Kiwi icon, or a viral sensation, each of these names could inject a fresh jolt of excitement into the company’s next tour. Plus, we’ve got a bonus pick for General Manager — and it’s a tag team–loving legend fans will instantly recognize.

But it’s not just a reshuffle in talent that would benefit the promotion but a fresh look at new regions to hold live events, one place in particular that often gets overlooked is Tasmania.

World Series Wrestling could see great crowds in Tasmania running in both Hobart, and Launceston at myState Arena and Launceston’s famed Silverdome. These arenas could bring World Series Wrestling some big crowds and put Tasmania back on the wrestling map as Tasmanian fans are fed up with being bypassed. Read my article of why World Series Wrestling should make the trip to Tasmania right here.

1. Braun Strowman — The Monster Attraction

When you need a big name, you don’t get bigger than Braun Strowman — literally and figuratively. The former WWE Universal Champion is a mountain of muscle with a wrecking ball aura, and his sudden WWE release on May 3 shocked the industry.

Strowman, known for feats of freakish strength and meme-worthy moments like flipping ambulances and destroying stages, has the kind of mainstream appeal few have outside of WWE. Whether you’re a casual viewer or a wrestling lifer, seeing Braun tear through opponents in an Aussie ring would be appointment viewing.

Imagine the visual: Strowman standing across from a local powerhouse like Mick Moretti or duking it out with an import like Brian Cage. That’s a clash of titans you’d pay double to see. Booking Braun could also bring lapsed fans back into the fold — and that’s the kind of buzz WSW should always be chasing.

2. Dakota Kai — The Homegrown Hero Returns

Before she was kicking heads off in NXT as part of Team Kick, Dakota Kai was wrestling ringside in Australia and New Zealand, honing her craft and making fans across the region.

Signed by WWE in 2016, Kai became one of the most technically crisp, emotionally engaging performers in NXT, involved in high-profile storylines and even serving time on the main roster. But Aussie fans remember her roots — and she remembers the fans that supported her before the spotlight.

WSW has always had a soft spot for talent with homegrown links, and Dakota’s return to the Australian scene would be a full-circle moment. Whether in women’s singles competition or intergender dream bouts, she’d elevate the card, inspire a new generation of Aussie talent, and bring legit credibility to any show she’s booked on.

Plus, with women’s wrestling taking massive strides globally, there’s no better time to spotlight someone like Kai, who can go bell-to-bell with the best of them.

3. Joe Hendry — Say His Name (Seriously, Say It)

Joe Hendry isn’t just a wrestler — he’s a walking, talking viral moment.

The Scottish sensation has built a career on charisma, wit, and surprisingly addictive theme songs that get stuck in your head for days (you’ve been warned). But beneath the charm is a legit technician who’s just as comfortable in mat-based grappling as he is playing mind games with an arena full of fans.

After making waves in TNA and also stepping into the WWE Royal Rumble — even getting a WrestleMania moment opposite Randy Orton — Hendry has proven he belongs among wrestling’s elite. But oddly, he’s never wrestled for World Series Wrestling… and that’s a missed opportunity begging to be corrected.

Hendry’s mix of in-ring skill and viral entertainment would light up the Australian scene. Just picture an arena full of fans chanting his name (in song, of course) before he even locks up. That’s magic you can’t manufacture.

4. Brock Anderson — Legacy Reloaded

If wrestling bloodlines matter (and they always do), then Brock Anderson is royalty. The son of WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson, Brock was practically born with a spinebuster in his DNA.

But make no mistake — Brock isn’t just riding coattails. After a run in All Elite Wrestling, where he paid his dues and started sharpening his character, Brock is now working in Major League Wrestling, tagging with the intense and underrated CW Anderson (no relation, but it’s a fun nod to the past).

Brock brings old-school energy, technical fundamentals, and the potential to grow into a breakout star. He’s not flashy — but neither was his dad, and look how that turned out. WSW could use a solid, blue-chip performer like Brock to balance out its roster of high-flyers and chaos agents.

He’s young, hungry, and not afraid of the spotlight. Get him in a program with a veteran or let him run wild in a tag tournament — either way, there’s gold in them Anderson genes.

5. Bobby Fish — The Skilled Veteran

Bobby Fish is the wrestling equivalent of a Swiss Army knife — reliable, durable, and always dangerous.

With a résumé that includes Ring of Honor, NJPW, and WWE NXT, Fish has seen and done it all. As part of the iconic Undisputed Era, he helped redefine faction warfare and delivered classic tag matches on the regular.

He’s a former champion, a tactical striker, and the kind of guy who elevates every match he’s in. For WSW, Fish offers versatility — use him as a gatekeeper for rising stars, build him as a veteran threat in a title picture, or team him up with a younger prospect and let the story write itself.

In a roster that blends showmanship and intensity, Fish brings a much-needed dose of ring generalship. He’s not flashy — but when the bell rings, business picks up.

Final Thoughts

World Series Wrestling has never shied away from thinking big — and now’s the perfect time to level up again. Signing any of these five talents would inject excitement, variety, and credibility into the next tour. Pair that with Teddy Long steering the ship, and you’ve got a recipe for a tour that fans won’t stop talking about.

The fans are ready. The talent is out there. The spotlight’s waiting.

All that’s left… is for WSW to make the call.
