TNA Championship Match Contract Signing
The TNA Championship will be defended in a Triple Threat Match at Slammiversary when Trick Williams defends his title against Mike Santana and Joe Hendry. Saturday afternoon, they signed the contract for the pay-per-view main event.
All three said their piece, hyping up the main event of the July 20 extravaganza, with Williams showing the braggadocio that has helped him become an effective heel. Hendry and Santana, tired of the NXT star holding their title and running his mouth, put him through a table.
After the segment, Dark State appeared and laid out the challengers while Williams watched from the ramp.

Shayna Baszler sparked plenty of chatter earlier this week after being listed as a producer for the Kelani Jordan vs. Lainey Reid match on WWE NXT. While rumors suggested the Queen of Spades might be transitioning into a backstage role, Baszler took to Twitch to clear the air—and tease what could lie ahead.
During a recent livestream, Baszler confirmed that she was indeed at the WWE Performance Center, but insisted her presence was more about learning than producing. “I happened to be at the PC working with people,” she explained. “I’m not gonna out the people that requested I work with them. So please, the dirt sheets are usually wrong, so do not believe stuff.”
Baszler shed more light on her visit, revealing that she was taking inspiration from a piece of advice given to her by Bryan Danielson (formerly Daniel Bryan in WWE). “He always told me he learned the most just sitting on the headset backstage,” she said. “Learning what the cameras look for, timing, cues—it helped him as a performer. So I figured, while I was home, I’d go to NXT and sit on the headset.”
According to Baszler, the unique atmosphere at NXT allowed her to take advantage of that opportunity. “On RAW or SmackDown, you’re not usually allowed in Gorilla unless you’re in the segment, unless you’re a top guy,” she noted. “But at NXT, because I was a top talent there, I could do it. I was there to learn.”
She also took part in some in-ring work, noting that she’s still technically under WWE contract during her 90-day no-compete window. “A couple of my friends got the okay for me to help out in the ring. It just happened to be on a Tuesday. I sat on a headset, that’s it,” she said, downplaying any official producer role. “Could the possibility be there? Sure. But I’d have to decide if I’m ready to be done [with wrestling]. I still think I have some stories to tell.”
That said, Baszler didn’t close the door on working behind the scenes one day. “A part of me hopes the powers that be at WWE see all the talk online and think about it,” she admitted. “That would be great, right? I can’t throw myself on the floor until I’m 60.”
As for what’s next, Baszler hinted that her in-ring journey might still have a few detours—possibly overseas. “Honestly, I really kind of want to go back to Japan,” she said. “I’ve wrestled most of the Joshi talent I’ve wanted to—except for a couple.”
Whether it’s one more run inside the ring or a future behind the curtain, it’s clear Baszler isn’t done with pro wrestling—she’s just evolving. And for fans of the former NXT Women’s Champion, that’s a storyline worth following.

Jordynne Grace has been making waves since stepping into NXT, but this week, it wasn’t just her dominant win over Lola Vice that had people talking—it was her brand-new entrance music. During Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, Grace walked out to a fresh theme ahead of her victory in a qualifying match for next week’s NXT Women’s Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal Four-Way. But the WWE Performance Center crowd made it loud and clear: they weren’t feeling the change.
According to Fightful Select, WWE swapped out Grace’s old theme—one she owns the rights to and used during her TNA run and early NXT appearances—for something new due to a couple of key reasons. First, WWE has reportedly doubled down on only using entrance music they fully control from a rights standpoint. Second, Grace’s original theme opened with sirens, which officials felt sounded too much like Raw star Bron Breakker’s entrance—sirens that carry deep roots in wrestling lore thanks to Breakker’s ties to the Steiner family.
Since Breakker’s sound had historical weight and WWE priority, Grace’s music had to be altered.
Fans weren’t shy about voicing their disapproval. “Fire Def Rebel” chants broke out in the PC—Def Rebel being WWE’s in-house music production team responsible for most superstar themes. Grace, to her credit, handled the crowd reaction with trademark humor, later tweeting, “I know what the streets are saying,” before cheekily adding that fans need to “suspend your disbelief and vibe with it.”
One fan responded saying they wouldn’t be vibing, to which Grace clapped back with a playful jab: “Let me know what you’re wearing next week so I can jump the barricade.”
Love it or hate it, the new music isn’t going anywhere for now. Grace will walk out to the updated theme once again next Tuesday when she steps into a high-stakes Fatal Four-Way against Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, and Jaida Parker. The winner earns a shot at NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne at NXT Evolution.
Jordynne Grace made waves on this week’s WWE NXT—and not just for her in-ring performance. During her match against Lola Vice, the TNA Knockouts Champion debuted a brand-new entrance theme… but the fans in attendance weren’t exactly feeling it.
As Grace made her entrance, the crowd at the WWE Performance Center broke out in an unmistakable chant: “Fire Def Rebel.” The pointed jab was directed at WWE’s in-house music production team, signaling that this latest track may have missed the mark with fans used to more impactful themes.
Despite the rocky musical reception, Grace handled business in the ring. She defeated Vice and punched her ticket to the upcoming Fatal 4-Way match set for the June 24 edition of NXT. There, she’ll battle Lash Legend, Jaida Parker, and Izzi Dame for a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship, currently held by Jacy Jayne. The title match is scheduled to take place at WWE Evolution.
Though the crowd may not have loved the new theme, Grace’s momentum in NXT continues to build—and with Evolution on the horizon, she’s just one win away from a golden opportunity.
