TNA Champion Aims for Title Defense on WWE NXT Television

TNA Wrestling and WWE, known for their past collaborations, renewed their partnership in May when Jordynne Grace appeared on NXT. This rekindled their relationship and led to more crossover appearances between stars from both companies. In fact, a TNA champion has expressed a desire to defend their title on NXT.

The WWE and TNA partnership continues to make headlines, and it’s easy to see why. The two promotions regularly exchange talent, with stars like Tatum Paxley, The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, and No Catch Quarter Crew making appearances on each other’s shows.

While on the Hitting The Turnbuckle Podcast, Mike Bailey said he’d love to defend the X Division Title in NXT. He mentioned Trick Williams and North American Champion Oba Femi as possible opponents. Bailey thinks Femi could play a role in the X Division similar to what Samoa Joe did in the past.

Bailey pointed out how well the crossover has worked for others like Joe Hendry, whose popularity has grown, and The Rascalz, who are doing great in NXT. He praised Trick Williams for standing out in NXT recently and is excited about the idea of Oba Femi joining the X Division, comparing him to Samoa Joe.

Bailey’s main goal is to show that the X Division is the best in pro wrestling and that he’s the best wrestler. He believes that defending the X Division Title in NXT would help prove that.

”Of course I would (like to defend the TNA X Division Title on NXT). I mean, look at Joe Hendry, what it’s done for him. It’s been absolutely fantastic. It’s definitely increased his already amazing popularity, right? But of course, put Joe Hendry on your television and you’ll get ratings. That’s how fantastic he is. That’s the magic of Joe Hendry but The Rascalz as well. What they’ve been doing has been fantastic. Seeing Zach Wentz and Trey Miguel in NXT has been awesome, and there’s so much great talent in NXT right now, that I think I would love to welcome within the X Division.

I think Trick Williams is someone that’s been really impressive. Lately, he’s been really standing out on NXT. I think Oba Femi in the X Division is something that I think is incredibly exciting. He kind of would remind me of Samoa Joe and the role that Samoa Joe had in the X Division which I think would be absolutely awesome… And again, my goal is to prove that the X Division is the best division in all of pro wrestling and I am the best of the best so if you can let me prove myself in NXT as well, I think that would be even better.”

The likes of Rosemary have also made their way to NXT television. Nonetheless, we’ll have to see if Mike Bailey will make an appearance on NXT television and defend his X-Division title eventually.
