The Invasion ends here.
Tonight, TNA and NXT will finally go head-to-head in an epic battle of supremacy! Two huge Survivor Series matches will be taking place; for the men, Team TNA consists of Mike Santana, Frankie Kazarian, Moose, and Leon Slater taking on Team NXT’s Ricky Saints, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, and Myles Born.
The bad blood between the two sides really began when Trick Williams beat Joe Hendry for the NXT Championship at Battleground. NXT stars started to slowly take over the TNA brand and the TNA wrestlers finally had enough in the title vs. title match between Oba Femi and Trick Williams. Santana leads the charge for his team, though Frankie Kazarian is the odd man out since he and Santana aren’t particularly friends.
Ricky Saints leads his team, but Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans have showcased in the past that they do not work well as a unit.
For the women, Team NXT consists of Jacy Jayne, Jaida Parker, Sol Ruca, and Lola Vice taking on Team TNA’s Kelani Jordan, Cassie Lee, Jessica McKay, and Mara Sade. The interesting aspect of this match is that there isn’t one TNA original on the Team TNA side. In fact, Kelani Jordan is still an active NXT wrestler! Can that cause a rift between Cassie Lee, Jessica McKay, and Mara Sade? Who have made TNA their permanent homes.
Two Championships will also be on the line as Mustafa Ali will finally get his much deserved opportunity at the North American Championship. But it won’t be an easy task as he’s facing a twisted and vile man who’s willing to do anything to win. Can Ethan Page fend off the former X-Division Champion and send him packing back to TNA without a title in hand?
