Last weekend, WWE announced a special NXT vs. TNA event called Invasion for October 7, which is now being called NXT Showdown 2025 due to a sensitive global issue, as reported by WrestleVotes. This special show will again counter-program AEW Dynamite’s special “Title Tuesday” episode as it goes head-to-head with NXT, with the them being NXT talents colliding with TNA wrestlers.
NXT Showdown 2025 will feature Survivor Series-style matches from both men’s and women’s rosters in NXT and TNA. Last night’s edition of NXT kicked off with new NXT Champion Ricky Saints and NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne being named as team captains for the WWE developmental brands’ Survivor Series teams, while TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella named Mike Santana, and new TNA Knockouts Champion, NXT’s Kelani Jordan, as their team captains.
