How Ex-AEW Stars Brock Anderson and Bear Bronson’s TNA Debut Came Together

Brock Anderson is opening up about how he and Bear Bronson made their surprise TNA Wrestling debut—and it all started with a run-in at a different show.

Following their appearance at TNA Final Resolution on December 5, 2025—where The System defeated Bear Bronson, Brock Anderson, and C.W. Anderson—fans were excited about the debut of the two former AEW stars. Speaking on The Arn Show, Brock revealed that Tommy Dreamer played a big role in bringing them to TNA.

“Yep. Not too long ago, we had a run-in with Tommy Dreamer at one of the shows. We worked against him and Beer City Bruiser. We had a little conversation afterward, and basically the gist of it was, ‘We’ll be in touch.’”

That “we’ll be in touch” turned into something real just a few weeks later, as both Brock Anderson and Bear Bronson were told they were needed for TNA Final Resolution.

“That was probably August, maybe a few weeks ago. He got in touch and said, ‘We need you.’ We said, ‘We’ll be there,’ and we showed up. It was Bear Bronson’s first show there too, which we figured out. We knew Bear from AEW, obviously, so I think it was a cool moment for all three of us to share our first match inside TNA.”

While Brock didn’t reveal if the appearance is part of a long-term plan, he had nothing but good things to say about his experience. He ended it by saying their TNA future is still to be determined.

“I don’t know what I can say beyond this, but I can say the locker room — everybody there, from production to the talent, all the way to the top — was nothing but welcoming to us. It was a breath of fresh air, to say the least. We had a good weekend, and we’ll see what comes in the future. So to be determined, that’s where we’re going to leave it.”

With Brock Anderson and Bear Bronson making solid impressions in their TNA debut and the door seemingly open for more, fans will be keeping an eye out for what’s next for the former AEW wrestlers.
