In another notable development concerning the working relationship between WWE and TNA Wrestling, TNA star Mike Santana is reportedly in Tampa, Florida, today for tonight’s WWE NXT Battleground premium live event. PWInsiderElite.com has confirmed Santana’s presence in the host city.
Adding further intrigue to his appearance, the report states that Santana “is also slated to be at the WWE Performance Center this week for WWE NXT.” Santana’s presence in Tampa comes as NXT Battleground prominently features TNA talent, with TNA World Champion Joe Hendry defending his title against Trick Williams and TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace challenging Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Women’s Championship.
While the exact reason for Santana’s visit and Performance Center appearance is not yet known, it fuels further speculation about him making a surprise appearance.
