TNA Wrestling signs Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw
Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw have officially signed with TNA Wrestling following a surprise debut on the September 24, 2026, episode of iMPACT. The duo, who previously performed in WWE as members of the Wyatt Sicks stable under the names Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, appeared as hooded figures to attack Matt and Jeff Hardy.
During the segment, the arena lights flickered and the video screen displayed static before the attackers ambushed the Hardys. Upon unmasking, the pair revealed themselves to the crowd, and the name ‘Syx’ appeared on the screen, signaling their new group identity. TNA confirmed the contract signings via social media shortly after the broadcast.
Both performers were released from WWE in April as part of a larger release of the Wyatt Sicks faction. Sawyer and Shaw have since been active on the independent circuit, with Shaw holding the Destiny World Championship and Sawyer holding the GCW World Championship.
