WWE NXT set the stage for a historic clash at Battleground as Joe Hendry and Trick Williams put pen to paper for the TNA World Championship match a first for NXT. The sit-down contract signing on the May 13 episode featured Hendry and Williams facing off in a tense segment with NXT General Manager Ava overseeing the proceedings.
Ava hyped up the TNA World Title, naming legends like Kurt Angle and Bubba Ray Dudley who once held the gold. But it didnt take long for the war of words to start.
Trick Williams, who now calls himself Hollywood Trick, vowed to take more than just the title. Im taking your fame, your title, and your brand, he declared, staring down Hendry.
Hendry fired back, reminding Trick that hes been taking risks and making a name for himself in TNA, something he says Trick used to do. That used to be you, Trick. Not anymore, Hendry said, claiming that TNA Wrestling is hotter than ever and he plans to carry the title with pride at Battleground.
Things nearly got physical before Ava stepped in to separate the two. But both men signed the contract, with the TNA World Title set to be defended on a WWE Premium Live Event for the first time ever on May 25 in Tampa.
