Ava has announced that NXT Invasion will take place on Tuesday, October 7th, airing live on The CW, and will feature two major Survivor Series-style elimination matches pitting NXT talents against TNA Wrestling in both men’s and women’s divisions.
This special crossover episode follows recent storyline chaos between NXT and TNA, and the decision was reached through discussions between NXT General Manager Ava and TNA’s Director of Authority, Santino Marella.
The Invasion event was announced after multiple TNA wrestlers interrupted a title-for-title match between NXT Champion Trick Williams and TNA World Champion Oba Femi on September 24, resulting in a no-contest and a huge brawl.
Ava addressed the story at the No Mercy premium live event, confirming the Survivor Series-style theme and a winner-take-all championship match as solutions to the escalating faction warfare.
Team selections for both the men’s and women’s matches will be revealed on the next NXT broadcast by Ava and Santino Marella.

- Women’s Survivor Series: NXT vs TNA - Elimination tag format
