As the working relationship between WWE and TNA continues, several NXT talents appeared at the latest round of TNA TV tapings.

Per BodySlam.net and TNAsylum.net, Izzi Dame and No Quarter Catch Crew's Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, and Tavion Heights were all part of the TNA tapings that took place on Friday and Saturday from Philadelphia's iconic 2300 Arena, fka the ECW Arena.

For Friday's taping, Dame answered Jordynne Grace's open challenge for a shot at the Knockouts Title; a shot Izzi came up short in against the Juggernaut. Elsewhere, Friday had Dempsey defeat the Rascalz's Trey Miguel thanks to the help of Borne, which led to a post-match beatdown of the Rascalz by the NQCC duo.

On Saturday's taping, Dempsey and Borne were joined by Tavion Heights as they picked up a win over the Rascalz and Kushida - helped by Jonathan Gresham taking Kushida out of that match.

This is the latest crossover between NXT and TNA, with Jordynne Grace having previously challenged Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Champion, NXT's Tatum Paxley facing Grace at TNA Against All Odds, and Frankie Kazarian and Joe Hendry being a part of the recent battle royal to crown the #1 contender for Trick Williams' NXT Championship.
