Trick Williams to Open May 8th Episode of TNA iMPACT! – Trick Williams is making waves across promotions as he prepares to open this Thursday’s episode of TNA iMPACT!, airing May 8th. TNA Wrestling officially announced that the NXT standout will kick off the broadcast, marking a significant moment in the ongoing TNA-WWE collaboration.
Williams’ appearance on iMPACT! comes just days after it was confirmed on the May 6 episode of WWE NXT—by General Manager Ava—that he will challenge Joe Hendry for the TNA World Championship at NXT Battleground on May 25. The cross-promotional match was met with strong fan interest and adds further intrigue to the working relationship between WWE and TNA.
Williams has been a key player on NXT in recent months, and his growing momentum now carries over into the TNA spotlight. His upcoming bout with Hendry is one of the most anticipated matches at Battleground, and Thursday’s iMPACT! appearance could provide a critical moment of hype or confrontation in the lead-up to the title match.
In addition to Trick Williams opening the show, the May 8th TNA iMPACT! card is loaded with high-stakes action, including:
- TNA International Championship – Dog Collar Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs. Eric Young
- Mustafa Ali vs. Trey Miguel
- Victoria Crawford in action
With stars from both companies crossing paths and championships on the line, Thursday’s iMPACT! is shaping up to be a must-watch episode.
NXT Battleground takes place on Saturday, May 25 from the Yuengling Center in Tampa Bay, Florida, and will stream live on Peacock.
