WWE Hall of Famer and former TNA star Bully Ray recently shared his views on the ongoing crossover storyline involving the TNA World Heavyweight Championship now being held by an active NXT superstar. Speaking candidly behind the scenes, Bully Ray discussed the advantages and drawbacks of having NXT’s Trick Williams as the face representing the TNA brand.
The discussion focused on the upcoming three-way match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the Slami Bursary Pay-per-view. The current champion, Trick Williams, will defend his title against Mike Santana and Joe Hendry. Bully Ray highlighted the interesting dynamics at play, noting that although Hendry and Santana don’t get along, they share a common goal: to take the championship away from Trick Williams.
Bully Ray gave a frank assessment of TNA’s current challenges. While having an outsider as champion can be a contentious issue, it also signals the unique attention and potential benefits that this crossover can bring to TNA. He posed the question, “Is it time for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to come back to TNA, or is it better off with NXT talent?” Bully acknowledged TNA’s current uncertain direction but praised the company for shaking up the status quo, which he sees as a positive development.
This high-stakes three-way championship match is set for Saturday, July 20th, at TNA’s flagship summer event, Slami Bursary, held at Verdun Auditorium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Fan Take: This crossover storyline marks a pivotal moment for TNA Wrestling, blending talent between promotions and generating fresh excitement among fans. It could open the door for more collaborative angles in wrestling, raising the profile of TNA and bringing new energy to its championship scene.
