The stars of WWE NXT were in action for a live event in Venice, Florida, last night, August 9th. The show featured a surprise appearance from a TNA Wrestling star and a main event featuring the dominant faction, The Culling.
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry Appears In Venice
The most newsworthy moment of the night came during a promo segment with Brooks Jensen. The recently returned superstar was interrupted by the surprise arrival of former TNA World Champion Joe Hendry. Hendry, who has appeared on NXT television in the past, confronted Jensen before laying him out with a body slam.
This appearance is the latest in the ongoing crossover between WWE and TNA Wrestling. Hendry is one of several TNA stars to appear on WWE programming as part of the working relationship.
