TNA Invades NXT, Massive Brawl Erupts – The September 23 episode of NXT ended in chaos as TNA Wrestling launched a full-scale invasion, sparking a wild brand vs. brand brawl to close the show. The shocking confrontation began during the main event, a high-stakes title vs. title match between NXT Champion Oba Femi and TNA Champion Trick Williams. Mike Santana, who joined commentary for the match, became the catalyst when Trick slapped him, prompting Santana to storm the ring and ignite the melee.
As the fight broke out, a wave of TNA stars hit the ring to join Santana. Moose, Steve Maclin, Matt Cardona, Eric Young, and Frankie Kazarian all stormed the squared circle, quickly overwhelming the NXT competitors until members of the black-and-gold brand poured out from the locker room to even the odds.
The invasion wasn’t limited to the closing moments. Throughout the night, TNA talent made their presence known with several surprise appearances and backstage teases. Moose, Eric Young, and Matt Cardona were first spotted lurking in the parking lot as Trick and Oba arrived at the arena. Later, Ethan Page was seen walking backstage while Mance Warner and Steph De Lander wandered behind him. Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee arrived during a match between Lainey Reed and Candice LeRae, while Victoria Crawford (formerly Alicia Fox) and Steve Maclin were caught on camera passing Lyra Valkyria and Tatum Paxley during a backstage segment.
Additional cameos included Joe Hendry, who appeared alongside NASCAR driver Sam Mayer, Cedric Alexander, and Zachary Wentz, while Mike Santana made his entrance mid-show before joining commentary for the main event. The IInspiration (Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee) and Frankie Kazarian were also seen in the crowd during the championship clash, further fueling the tension between the two promotions.
The surprise TNA invasion sets the stage for a potential full-scale war between the brands, with both rosters now on high alert after a night of relentless cross-brand chaos.
