At the TNA Wrestling Slammiversary event on July 20th, a WWE NXT and TNA double champion was crowned during a thrilling Long Island pay-per-view. The night featured three intense "NXT vs. TNA" matches, highlighting both collaboration between the promotions and crossover appearances.
The first match was an eight-man tag team bout where TNA’s JDC, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and Matt Cardona triumphed over NXT’s Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shogers, and Osiris Griffin. The second match was a title vs. title showdown between TNA Knockout Champion Masha Slamovich and NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, with the winner claiming both championships.
With allies Fallon Henley and Jazmine Nyx by her side, Jacy Jayne faced interference attempts from Ray Lyn and Xia Brookside, which almost cost her the match when Slamovich took advantage of the referee’s distraction. However, Jayne recovered just in time, executing a roll-up move to secure victory and become the dual champion, holding both the NXT Women’s and TNA Knockout titles.
The main event featured NXT’s Trick Williams defending the TNA World Championship in a three-way contest against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana. Additionally, WWE legend AJ Styles made a special appearance at Slammiversary, adding further excitement to the event.
Fan Take: This crossover event is a game-changer for WWE fans, showcasing the exciting possibilities when top talents from NXT and TNA collide. It not only elevates the prestige of both promotions but also signals fresh storylines and rivalries that could reshape the wrestling landscape.
