The stars were out in Nevada for WWE NXT Battleground with names from TNA Wrestling and UFC making it to the show.
WWE NXT Battleground 2024 took place at the UFC Apex, the first WWE event in history to happen at the venue. The show was historic for multiple reasons as it saw the crowning of the first NXT North American Women's Champion as well as the WWE in-ring debut of 'All Ego' Ethan Page. The show also saw TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace challenge WWE NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez; the first time a TNA-contracted performer has challenged for a WWE title.
With a ton of buzz inside the UFC Apex, there was no shortage of notable names in attendance. UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin was shown in the crowd during the show, and he would also meet up with WWE NXT head Shawn Michaels backstage.

Merab Dvalishvil was shown in the crowd as well. The Georgian-American fighter is currently ranked first in the UFC bantamweight rankings.

It wasn't just UFC fighters who were at WWE NXT Battleground. TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim was in attendance at the show. The inaugural TNA Knockouts World Champion was joined Jonathan Gresham, the husband of Jordynne Grace, Ariel Shnerner, SVP of Content for Anthem/TNA, and TNA President Anthony Cicione.

It remains to be seen if we'll see more crossover from WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling, though many on both sides are hoping for it. Until then, WWE NXT Battleground proved to be a historic show that has had the wrestling (and UFC) world talking.
