TNA announced that a popular YouTube star-turned-pro wrestler has crossed the line.
BDE (aka BrandonDoesEverything) has officially signed a contract with TNA Wrestling. The promotion confirmed an initial report from The Sportster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed at the time of the announcement.
BDE boasts more than 1 million subscribers to his YouTube channel. He made his in-ring debut for TNA in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound For Glory, and he’s competed in four other matches for the promotion since then. In addition to his in-ring work with TNA, BDE has also competed for notable indie promotions like Wrestling Revolver and Reality of Wrestling.
“What a time to be alive, man,” he told TheSportster’s MuscleManMalcolm. “It’s honestly a dream come true. For real. It’s, it’s kind of cool that this is happening on the week of my one year wrestling anniversary. I started wrestling [and] 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.”
“My dream job as a kid was to be an actor. Then when I saw people make money from playing video games on YouTube, my dream changed,” BDE told TNAWrestling.com about his success as a streamer. “When I started my YouTube channel, I wanted to play everything I thought was interesting. But as I learned more about the platform, I learned it’s better to niche down. So eventually I shortened it to ‘BDE’ because I was only talking about wrestling.”
BDE will be at TNA Genesis
BDE is advertised to appear on Thursday and Saturday, January 15 & 17 at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas for TNA’s next television tapings. January 15 marks the debut episode of TNA’s Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC. Two days later, TNA presents Genesis, the promotion’s first pay-per-view event of 2026. Tickets for both TNA shows in Dallas are now on sale.
