The much-hyped NXT/TNA Showdown will be taking place tonight
live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Originally called Invasion, the name was eventually changed
to Showdown out of respect for the victims of the October 7,
2023 invasion of Hamas in Israel.
Four matches are on the card for tonight, including two
title matches and two Survivor Series-style elimination
matches.
In the men’s elimination match, Team NXT will consist of NXT
champion Ricky Saints, TNA champion Trick Williams, Je’Von
Evans, and Myles Borne as they take on Team TNA with #1
contender for the TNA title Mike Santana, Frankie Kazarian,
Moose, and TNA X Division champion Leon Slater. Joe Hendry
will be the referee for the match.
In the women’s elimination match, Team NXT has NXT Women’s
champion Jacy Jayne, NXT Women’s North American champion Sol
Ruca, Jaida Parker, and Lola Vice against Team TNA with TNA
Knockouts champion Kelani Jordan, TNA Knockouts Tag Team
champions The IInspiration, and Mara Sade.
Plus, The Hardys take on DarkState in a winners-take-all
match for both the NXT and TNA Tag Team titles and Ethan
Page defends the NXT North American title against Mustafa
Ali.
NXT/TNA Showdown airs tonight live on The CW at 8PM ET and
on Netflix everywhere else.
