TNA invades NXT: Utter chaos to end WWE show

TNA invaded NXT tonight. Both brands engaged in an all-out brawl to close out the show tonight.

WWE and TNA recently formed a partnership, which has opened the door for cross-promotional opportunities to take place. As a result, several TNA Wrestlers such as Mike Santana, Joe Hendry, Moose, and many more have competed on the black and silver brand. Many WWE stars have also made appearances on TNA programming. Trick Williams also became the first WWE star under contract to win the TNA World Championship. However, this wasn't enough for him as he had his eyes set on Oba Femi's NXT Title. Last week, Trick interrupted the Grayson Waller Effect, which prompted the host to announce a title vs. title match for tonight. However, this announcement made a lot of the TNA wrestlers unhappy.

Throughout tonight, several key TNA names were seen wandering backstage. Stars like Moose, Matt Cardona, Xia Brookside, Steve Maclin, Billie Kay, and many more were even in the crowd for the main event. Mike Santana also joined the commentary team. During the match, Trick went to confront Santana, which resulted in both men throwing hands. As a result, several TNA stars entered the ring, which prompted the NXT roster to run out, and a massive brawl broke out. Ricky Saints and Oba Femi came face-to-face as the brawl was happening in the background to close out the show.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
