Ex-AEW Star Spotted On Site At WWE NXT Battleground

WWE NXT Battleground 2025

An EX-AEW and current TNA star was seen at the site of a WWE NXT PLE.

As per reports from Fightful Select, EX-AEW star Mike Santana has been spotted backstage at the location of WWE NXT Battleground.

Santana has been on a roll as he had a gripping storyline and a fantastic “falls count anywhere” match with Mustafa Ali at TNA Rebellion. Santana is in his second stint with TNA, where he was a part of the renewed LAX faction.

It remains to be seen if this leads to him appearing on the show, but it’s certainly possible, as it features a match between Joe Hendry and Trick Williams for the TNA World Championship. With TNA stars frequently crossing over to WWE, especially NXT, Santana’s presence is definitely intriguing.
