WWE has confirmed that the TNA World Championship will be defended at NXT Battleground, with Joe Hendry set to put his title on the line against Trick Williams. The two have been embroiled in a heated feud that’s spanned both TNA and NXT, and their long-building clash will become official with a contract signing on the May 13 edition of NXT.
During this week’s show, NXT General Manager Ava confirmed the Battleground title match, where Hendry and Trick had another tense encounter. With high emotions, following Tuesday’s contract signing could erupt into physicality.
Also announced for the May 13 episode, NXT Champion Oba Femi will face Charlie Dempsey in a non-title match. Dempsey, fresh off trying to steal a title shot from No Quarter Catch Crew ally Myles Borne, now finds himself toe-to-toe with the champion. Borne, who won a number one contender’s battle royal, will still challenge Femi at Battleground.
Rounding out the card, Wes Lee will go one-on-one with Tony D’Angelo in a matchup with future implications for the NXT midcard scene.
