BDE Signs with TNA – From YouTube Star to the Big Leagues!
Big news out of TNA today (January 6, 2026): Viral sensation BrandonDoesEverything (aka BDE) has officially inked a contract with the promotion! First reported by The Sportster and confirmed on TNA’s site, this is a huge step for the 1M+ subscriber YouTuber who’s been grinding from content creator to in-ring competitor.
BDE (real name Brandon Collymore) has been a pro wrestling fan since age 9, hooked after his aunt took him to his first show. His all-time fave? John Cena.
He kicked off content creation at 14 (almost 12 years ago now), starting with everything from gaming to skits before niching down to wrestling under the “BDE” banner.
Dream shift from actor to YouTuber? Check — he even dropped out of college after graduating high school early, with his mom giving him a one-year shot that paid off fast with his first YouTube check.
Training started in 2019 (paused for the pandemic, resumed in 2024), and he’s already made waves: TNA debut at Bound For Glory 2025 in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, matches on iMPACT!, and a mainstay at indies like Wrestling REVOLVER.
Now, he’s officially on the roster — terms not disclosed, but the timing is perfect with TNA’s massive transition ahead.
Fun facts on BDE:
Attended the same performing arts high school as Usher, Raven-Symoné, and Playboi Carti (where he was the mascot, earning “The Spartan” nickname). BDE LOVES comics (Spider-Man and The Flash faves), games like Call of Duty/Minecraft/2K, and recently got into DJing with a new setup.
Got his first camera at 8 from his mom — started with family skits, now wrestling in front of crowds!
