NXT Homecoming Confirms NXT and TNA Championship Unification Match – The September 16 special edition of NXT Homecoming at Full Sail University delivered a huge announcement that will shape the future of both WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling. During a segment of The Grayson Waller Effect, tensions boiled over between NXT Champion Oba Femi, No Mercy challenger Ricky Saints, and TNA Champion Trick Williams.
The segment began with Femi dismissing Saints as unworthy of his time. Saints responded with a personal revelation, recalling how WWE rejected him via email eight years ago. Despite that early setback, he highlighted his persistence and determination, making it clear that he plans to capture the NXT Championship at No Mercy.
Before the tension could settle, Trick Williams made his presence felt. Confronting Femi, Williams reminded him that their rivalry predates Saints’ arrival in NXT. He declared that the NXT Championship should already belong to him, while brushing off Saints’ involvement in the title picture.
Host Grayson Waller then fueled the fire by suggesting that NXT General Manager Ava and TNA official Santino Marella arrange a high-stakes title-for-title match between Femi and Williams. The bout, he proposed, would unify the NXT and TNA Championships, with the winner advancing to defend both belts against Saints at No Mercy. Both Femi and Williams accepted the challenge on the spot.
The show later cut backstage to Ava, who officially confirmed the blockbuster stipulation. At NXT No Mercy, Oba Femi and Trick Williams will battle in a unification match, with the winner walking away as both NXT and TNA Champion before facing Ricky Saints in the event’s headline match.
This marks one of the most historic announcements in NXT history, as two world titles from WWE and TNA will now be merged, setting the stage for an unprecedented showdown.
