The WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling crossovers continued this week.
After Jordynne Grace appeared on WWE NXT programming and later defended her TNA Knockouts Championship against NXT Superstar Tatum Paxley at the TNA Against All Odds pay-per-view, some more crossovers happened last night.
At the June 18 episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network, TNA stars Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian competed as surprise participants in the battle royal to determine the challenger for Trick Williams in the NXT Championship at the upcoming NXT Heatwave.
