NXT-TNA Invasion, War Games Angle Teased

It seems as though last night’s NXT: Homecoming broadcast was set-up for some kind of ‘Invasion’ angle.

Before the show went on the air, HBK posted this video:

Feels totally legal 🤠 #NXTHomecoming

The actual show began with HHH extoling the virtues of NXT and then Shawn Michaels come out.

“What if I said I wanted to come back?” asked HHH.

The crowd gasped.

“Well, I didn’t want this to get all uncomfortable but then we would have a very, very big problem,” answered HBK.

William Regal’s music played. Regal looked to the crowd and then to the ring.

“Gentlemen, I know only of one way to settle this” War Games!” he yelled.

Following that confrontation, TNA superstars bombarded social media with their thoughts and challenges. What could it all mean?

NXT celebrates its past but disrespects TNA’s future.

Many will talk about it. A few will do something about it.

Consider this a warning @ShawnMichaels. @WWENXT#NXTHomecoming

I came to @ThisIsTNA for new opportunities and to reinvent myself. I refuse to sit around and have @WWENXT talent take those opportunities!

It’s time for a change!!#PRYMEAlexander#TotalNonstopAlexander#NXTHomecoming

Wow @WWENXT really thinks they control @ThisIsTNA ! Don’t forget I still live right around the corner… Maybe it’s time for a different type of homecoming 😉 #NXTHomecoming

Many of us at @ThisIsTNA are former #WWENXT talent….You know I love @_trickwilliams 🫶🏼 but it just doesn’t feel right that he’s the only representation of TNA tonight at Full Sail…

Funny how @WWENXT thinks they can just offer up OUR championship in a title vs title match acting like @ThisIsTNA has no say in the matter

Truth is We’ve let this type of stuff happen for too long
Time for a change #NXTHomecoming

DO YOU WANNNA KNOW SOMETHING ? I’m DONE with this so-called TrickNa Era in @tnawrestling. He thinks we’re gonna bow down and watch him run our brand? Nah. This ends soon—and when it does, he’ll wish he never crossed the line #TNAiMPACT

This is getting to be too much, honestly, I’m very close to … whatever, I’m just saying it’s getting to be too much #NXT#TNA

Also.

To keep it real with everyone…
I’m pretty sick and tired of all the “WWE/NXT has control over TNA and can do what they want”, bullshit.

Think it’s about time we put it to rest and do something about…#NXTHomecoming
