On the February 18, edition of WWE NXT, TNA’s X-Division Champion Moose made his stunning arrival, confronting NXT Champion Oba Femi. In an NXT Digitial Exclusive, Moose shared his excitement after finally making his presence felt in WWE.
“It’s been awesome. Great, great feeling. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m happy I’m finally here.”
During NXT, Femi and Moose agreed that a match between the two must happen. In the interview, Moose shared that he’s had his eyes on Femi for “a very long time” and doesn’t plan on waiting much longer to face The Ruler.
“In a few weeks, I feel like we will lock horns and we will see who the better man is.”
Before Moose locks horns with Femi, he will put the X-Division Championship on the line during next week’s WWE NXT against Lexis King. Moose won’t be the only notable TNA name on the show, as Matt and Jeff Hardy, the reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions, will take on the No Quarter Catch Crew during the February 25, show in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Moose has spent years as one of TNA’s leading names and now fans will get to see what he’s capable of against some of the top stars of WWE NXT. With the partnership between WWE and TNA set to last for years, fans can expect plenty more huge crossover moments like we saw this week.
