In a shocking turn of events, TNA Wrestling star Alex Hammerstone made his unexpected WWE debut on the September 10th episode of NXT, facing off against the formidable NXT North American Champion, Oba Femi.
The surprise appearance, first reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, left fans buzzing with excitement and speculation. Hammerstone’s arrival was revealed as part of a complex plot orchestrated by Tony D’Angelo, who had apparently paid off the former MLW World Champion in an attempt to settle his ongoing feud with Oba Femi. However, D’Angelo’s scheme backfired spectacularly as Hammerstone fell victim to Femi’s devastating offence, ultimately coming up short in his bid for the championship.
The match showcased Hammerstone’s impressive skills and physique, giving WWE fans a taste of why he’s been a standout performer in other promotions. Despite his valiant effort, Femi’s dominant reign as North American Champion continued, leaving a visibly frustrated D’Angelo to storm away from the screen where he had been watching the contest unfold.
Hammerstone’s appearance marks another milestone in the growing working relationship between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling. This collaboration has already seen several TNA stars make guest appearances on NXT.
Having signed with TNA at the beginning of 2024 after a successful run in Major League Wrestling, where he held the MLW World Championship, Hammerstone’s NXT debut demonstrates the fluid nature of today’s wrestling landscape. It also raises questions about potential future crossovers and what this means for both NXT and TNA moving forward.
