WWE NXT Superstars to Appear at TNA iMPACT! Filming in Philadelphia

Some of WWE NXT’s top superstars made their presence felt during the final tapings for TNA Wrestling’s weekly television show iMPACT!

At the taping in Philadelphia, PA, Charlie Dempsey of the No Quarter Catch Crew showed up and attacked Trey Miguel, Leon Slater and a referee. Dempsey, the son of William Regal, was met with loud NXT chants from the crowd in Philly.

Dempsey is no stranger to appearing for other companies, despite being part of the WWE NXT roster. Earlier this year, he competed in All Japan Pro Wrestling and unsuccessfully challenged for the AJPW Triple Crown Championship. During WWE WrestleMania weekend, Dempsey was part of Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport The collective.

Knockouts Title Action

Dempsey wasn’t the only name from WWE NXT to appear on the TNA iMPACT! recordings. Before the event, it was announced that TNA Knockout World Champion Jordynne Grace would defend her title in an open challenge. Her challenge was answered by NXT’s Izzi Dame, but she was unable to dethrone the Juggernaut.

Dame’s arrival in TNA comes after Tatum Paxley challenged Grace for the gold at Against All Odds 2024. Grace herself competed in WWE NXT earlier this year, challenging NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at Battleground 2024.

What’s going to happen?

The working relationship between WWE and TNA has created intrigue on both sides and there is a belief that more will happen in the future. After Joe Hendry’s appearance on WWE NXT, both companies were happy with his role and hoped that the partnership would continue. It remains to be seen who will be the next to jump through the ‘Prohibited Portal’, but don’t be surprised to see more crossover between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling.
