Multiple Former WWE Wrestlers Appear on NXT During TNA Title Defense
The TNA-NXT partnership solidified on WWE television once again tonight as TNA titles were defended on tonight’s show. The NXT Women’s Tag Team Division is flourishing currently with many talented tag teams on the brand.
However, the boom comes at a time when the women’s tag team division on the main roster is at its peak as well, leaving no titles for the NXT women to challenge for.
During this time, the NXT Tag Team of last year, ZaRuca, recently won a number one contender’s match for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships and faced the champions tonight, which saw the return of two former WWE wrestlers.
