WWE NXT Stars Appear At TNA Tapings
The latest NXT names to cross the line are...
As the working relationship between WWE and TNA continues, a couple of other NXT faces made their presence known at last night's set of TNA TV tapings.
Taking place from Louisville, Kentucky, this latest round of TNA tapings saw appearances from Arianna Grace and Karmen Petrovic. The Wrestling Observer was amongst the first to pick up on this, with several fans in attendance sharing pictures online of Grace and Petrovic.
As for their roles at these tapings, Petrovic actually challenged TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace in a match that will air in the coming weeks. There's little known on what Grace got up to as of this writing, but one has to hope that there was some sort of interaction with Santino Marella, who's nowadays TNA's on-screen Director of Authority in addition to being Arianna's father.
