TNA’s Newest Champion Makes a Future WWE 2K Crossover Even Clearer

by

The collaboration between WWE and TNA Wrestling over multiple years has resulted in numerous thrilling crossover events during their respective shows. In the game WWE 2K25, the legendary TNA figure Abyss was featured in its Dunk and Destruction DLC, hinting at the possibility of more TNA stars appearing in future versions or editions of the WWE game. However, the exact extent of this partnership as it pertains to WWE 2K25 appearances for the remainder of the year is yet to be determined, but there’s certainly a lot of potential for what’s to come.

At the recently-finished TNA pay-per-view event named Slammiversary, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne defeated Masha Slamovich to capture the TNA Knockouts Championship. This victory marks a historical feat for Jayne as she is now the first athlete to hold both the NXT and TNA titles concurrently. Additionally, Jayne joins current TNA World Champion Trick Williams as the second NXT superstar to own a TNA title. With these two stars making significant impacts in both companies, it opens up possibilities for the WWE 2K series to incorporate their cross-company feats into future game content, thanks to the partnership between TNA and WWE.

WWE 2K Can’t Overlook Jacy Jayne’s Historic Win and Other TNA Moments

Over a long time, WWE and TNA were considered fierce competitors, but their collaboration has brought numerous possibilities for the stars from both organizations. This is especially beneficial because many well-known wrestlers have built a reputation in both WWE and TNA, such as AJ Styles and the Hardys. However, it’s worth noting that this partnership might not involve using TNA’s resources within the upcoming WWE 2K25 video game, which could be why popular wrestlers like Joe Hendry are yet to be playable in the game.

It’s possible that an upcoming edition of the WWE 2K series, such as WWE 2K or WWE 2K25, could offer downloadable content (DLC) that allows players to compete for both the TNA Knockouts Championship and the TNA World Championship. This would be a first for the franchise, as it represents cross-promotion of championship titles. This move is intended to celebrate the real-life achievements of Jayne and Williams, while offering players a fresh challenge during their MyRise gameplay sessions.

Similarly, the upcoming WWE 2K edition might incorporate Jayne and Williams’ championship-winning battles within its future Showcase offerings. Additionally, Jordynne Grace, a rising star from NXT, expresses her desire to see her TNA matches included in the WWE 2K Showcase. Essentially, if the developers decide to include them, these matches could become part of the game. This would also necessitate including more TNA champions within the roster for an accurate representation of these moments on the digital platform. Moreover, incorporating these TNA matches would serve as a means to honor and preserve their legacy alongside some of the most legendary WWE and NXT battles in the annals of video game history.

  • NXT Battleground 2025: Trick Williams beat Joe Hendry for the TNA World Championship. He is the first WWE-signed wrestler to win the title.
  • Slammiversary 2025: Jacy Jayne defeated Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship, becoming the first double champion across WWE and TNA. Trick Williams also successfully defended the TNA World Championship against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.

It so happened that AJ Styles made a comeback to TNA at the Slammiversary event of 2025, marking his first appearance in their ring since 2013. Many speculated that this was the start of his retirement tour lasting for about a year. Notable bouts in Styles’ career include his feuds with Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels, and he is expected to engage in more such matches with TNA’s current crop of talent in the near future. If WWE decides to honor Styles’ time with TNA, they could choose to showcase some of those matches in the Showcase mode of WWE 2K as a tribute.

As a passionate gamer and WWE fan, I can’t help but feel thrilled about their strategic partnerships that work wonders for both the wrestlers and us fans. It’s not just TNA on their radar; they also took over Lucha Libre promotion AAA, which is brimming with stars like El Hijo del Vikingo and Octagon Jr. Now, if you take a look at WWE 2K25’s roster, you might already spot some AAA alums like Stephanie Vaquer and Penta. With that in mind, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine the likes of El Hijo del Vikingo and Octagon Jr. joining the ranks in future updates!
