WWE heightened anticipation for tonight’s NXT Battleground by releasing a promotional video for the TNA World Championship match between Joe Hendry and Trick Williams, which notably incorporates the voiceover of AJ Styles. The teaser was shared via social media ahead of the May 25 premium live event.
On its official X/Twitter account, WWE promoted the historic championship encounter with a caption that read: “Who will be the face of TNA? Let The Phenomenal @AJStylesOrg get you ready for the history-making @ThisIsTNA World Championship Match between @joehendry and @_trickwilliams TONIGHT at #WWEBattleground! WWE Battleground streams at 8ET/5PT exclusively on @peacock in the U.S. and @netflix internationally.” The post emphasized AJ Styles’ vocal contribution to the preview.
The NXT Battleground event, following Saturday Night’s Main Event, is set to feature several prominent names from WWE’s developmental brand, including Stephanie Vaquer and Jordynne Grace, in addition to the TNA World Title bout.
This defense marks the first occasion a TNA championship will be contested on WWE programming. A victory for Trick Williams over TNA World Champion Joe Hendry would represent a significant moment in the ongoing collaboration between the two promotions.
