It Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is scheduled to begin on tonight’s episode of “WWE NXT.” on weekends The full list of teams participating in the tournament has been announced. NXT, WWE EVOLVE and AAA make up the brackets. ATN wrestlers are missing from the tournament. Since WrestleMania season, TNA and WWE haven’t used their relationship much on screen.
TNA World Heavyweight Champion and one half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions Nick Nemeth weighed in on the TNA talent left out of the show. “It is unlikely with Adrian Hernandez.”. He’s not upset about not being in it because he and his brother Ryan are busy. “There are relationships there. We’ve had some moments where we’ve brought in a lot of NXT people who were brand new, fired them up, given them TV time, got those reps involved. It would be nice to see them happen again, but of course it’s not always the time and place.”
He touched on TNA wrestlers appearing on WWE programming and vice versa, and the great moments being created. “Those moments can still happen and they will happen when the time is right. It would be great to be represented there, but also I’m super busy right now and I’m not interested in doing NXT as world champion and tag team champion,” said Nemeth.
He believes the relationship has been productive for both parties and has been really positive for TNA and hopes WWE feels the same way. He hopes to see more crossovers in the future.
