Brandon Collymore—better known to his millions of fans as BDE—is trading YouTube commentary for full-time in-ring action, officially signing with TNA Wrestling.
Speaking with TheSportster’s MuscleManMalcolm, the popular wrestling content creator confirmed the major career move.
“Your boy has signed a contract with TNA Wrestling. What a time to be alive, man,” he said, visibly emotional.
With over 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 300,000 combined followers across social media, BDE has become a standout figure in wrestling commentary. Now, he’s ready to take on the squared circle full-time—just one year after his first official match.
“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 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.”
BDE first stepped into TNA during the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound For Glory 2025. Since then, he’s been training under the guidance of former TNA World Champion Sami Callihan—a mentor who helped sharpen his transition from streamer to star.
“I don’t think it’s kicked in all the way yet. Honestly, like, as soon as I signed it and I got it back, I’m jumping for joy. I’m like calling my family, telling them the news, right? It happened like right before Christmas too. So a little, a little nice early Christmas present. That was kind of nice.”
From breaking down matches on YouTube to stepping into them himself, BDE is proving that sometimes the fans with the loudest voices become the performers fans can’t stop watching.
