The working relationship between WWE and TNA Wrestling continues to shake up the wrestling landscape, and this week’s episode of NXT delivered another major crossover moment. Not only did TNA X-Division Champion Moose make his presence felt, but the legendary Hardy Boyz confirmed their return to a WWE ring for the first time in nearly five years.
Moose Confronts Oba Femi, Puts X-Division Title on the Line
NXT Champion Oba Femi was riding high after his successful title defense at Vengeance Day, but his celebration was cut short when TNA’s Moose made a surprise appearance. The reigning X-Division Champion wasted no time stepping up to Femi, making it clear that he wasn’t someone the dominant NXT Champion could overlook.
While the tension between Femi and Moose left fans buzzing, it was Lexis King who made the first move. Later in the night, King challenged Moose to a match next week in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, with the TNA X-Division Championship on the line. This marks another huge inter-promotional showdown, as WWE and TNA continue to break new ground in their ongoing partnership.
The Hardy Boyz Set to Return to WWE on NXT for a Huge Match
The surprises didn’t stop there. During a backstage segment, No Quarter Catch Crew issued a bold challenge, calling out none other than Matt & Jeff Hardy for a match on next week’s NXT. The legendary duo, who haven’t competed in a WWE ring together since April 2019, wasted little time responding.
In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the Hardys not only accepted the challenge but confirmed they will be putting their TNA World Tag Team Championships on the line. To make things even more interesting, they personally invited the NXT Tag Team Champions to sit ringside and watch the action unfold.
This will be a massive moment for NXT, blending nostalgia with the current generation of talent. The Hardys are one of the most decorated tag teams in wrestling history, and their return under the WWE/TNA alliance proves that anything can happen in this new era of inter-promotional competition.
What’s Next?
With Moose vs. Lexis King and The Hardy Boyz vs. No Quarter Catch Crew both set for next week’s NXT, the show is shaping up to be one of the most must-see episodes in recent memory. The partnership between WWE and TNA has already delivered some shocking moments, and with major championship matches now in play, it’s clear this is just the beginning.
Could we see more TNA stars stepping into WWE rings? And what does this mean for future crossover events? One thing is for sure—next week’s NXT is going to be can’t-miss TV.
