The June 3 episode of WWE NXT was quite a show, and it also included some big action from another company.
Trick Williams shocked the pro wrestling world when he beat Joe Hendry to become TNA World Champion. This week on NXT, he put that championship on the line against a very worthy competitor.
Mike Santana stepped up to Trick Williams on NXT last week, and he demanded a shot at the TNA World Title. Santana has been a part of the TNA Wrestling roster for quite a while, after all.
This match was the main event of the night, and fans were more than ready for it. The contest also received a big match feel thanks to Mike Romes ring introductions.
Elijah also watched this match from ringside, because he is next in line to get a shot at the TNA World Title. This match was fierce as both men fought to gain the upperhand.
Trick Williams nailed a powerful spin kick when we came back from commercial break, but Santana kicked out of the pinfall attempt. Fans were on fire in the NXT Arena as this match wrapped up. Needless to say, Trick Williams heel turn was in full-swing.
Santana started to rally on Trick Williams, but he was unable to secure the win. In the end, Trick Williams bailed out of the ring and he had words with Elijah. The former Elias jumped the barricade as AJ Francis and Casey Navarro jumped Santana and bounced him off the announce table.
Then Trick Williams got back in the ring to nail a Trick Shot to retain the TNA World Title. This was thanks to interference, but hell take it.
We will have to see what is next for the partnership between WWE and TNA. After all, it was already given by Cora Jade as the reason why she may be hesitant about making a jump to that company.
