Which TNA wrestler had the 2nd most success in WWE?

[The Rick Jericho]

We all know AJ Styles runs away with it being the most successful TNA to WWE signing.

But if you look at the 2nd runner up for most success it could be a few.

R-Truth?
Roode?
Samoa Joe?

To name a few.

[J Lee O'Brien]

If WWE to TNA and back again counts, either Lashley or McIntyre. Might give the edge to Lashley.

In terms of TNA originals?

Probably Joe. He main evented PPVs and was credible for the most part.

Should've beaten either Brock or AJ for the title.

Samoa Joe did great but he should have been a superstar. It's a shame HHH didn't take over sooner, or he probably would have been a superstar on the level of AJ.

Roode never reached his TNA height but he did well enough, don't even know if they're still going to use him but.. HHH did always like him. Just bring back Glorious...

Xavier Woods. I feel all his tag title reigns and how successful New Day have been are bigger accomplishments compared to Joe and Roode. And arguably he's a bigger star in modern wrestling then them. He's certainly a bigger star compared to his TNA run.

Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre might not have started in Impact but Big Bob and The Scottish Psychopath absolutely did. 2015-2017 TNA didn't do a lot of things right but they knew how to make their main eventers look like a million bucks most of the time. Even Mike Bennett didn't rly look out of place.

With R-Truth, he was WWF/E -> TNA -> WWE...

Yeah has to be Woods.

From Consequences Creed: X-Division Cog to celebrity video game pioneer and multi-time tag champion.

I agree it's Creed/Woods. If you're going by "was in TNA first then WWE" then Punk but it's a stretch to consider him a TNA Wrestler.

I 100% forgot he was in TNA. Great answer!

[Push R Truth]

Only Braden Walker is good enough to have a 3 disk DVD set devoted to him after only 2 matches.

[Zombie Mod]

lashley/mcintyre/woods/bobby roooo i'd say are all tied in 2nd place as they've all had turns at being highlighted in wwe

[darbus alan]

CM Punk.

Main Event TNA during thst time was awesome/a train wreck. You got shit like Pentagon getting the belt, Bobby being book to his strengths, Eddie Edwards doing some good, ECIII's rise, Alberto being the Ace then f***ing thst up and the belt going through multiple changes.

[darbus alan]

TNA/Impact is a good story for a lot of reclamation projects. Lashley and McIntyre are good examples. If the rumors about W. Morrissey/Big Cass wanting to come back are true, he'd be another.
