Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the WWE storyline, a TNA Wrestling champion has pitched the idea of a new WWE invasion.
In 2001, an invasion storyline played out in WWE, featuring stars from the recently acquired WCW and ECW brands, leading to Survivor Series in November of that year.
Leon Slater has now pitched the idea of a modern version featuring TNA Wrestling and its partner company WWE.
In a recent interview with PW Mania, the youngest X-Division Champion in TNA Wrestling history explored his pitch, saying:
“As far as the storyline goes, my ideal storyline would be almost like an ‘Invasion’ storyline. That’s how I picture this culminating.
“There’s been all of this talk on who has the better wrestlers, better this, better that, but I think there’s only one way to see who’s the better brand.
“We take a team of four or five TNA all-stars and put them against a team of four or five NXT all-stars, and we see which brand is better.
“For me, that would be an incredible storyline. If that does happen one day, I’d be super eager to be a part of that TNA squad and represent my company.”
Slater wouldn’t state who else would represent TNA Wrestling in the hypothetical invasion, nor who would stand across from them representing NXT.
NXT and TNA Wrestling have been in an official partnership since January, having seen crossovers throughout last year.
Among the crossover moments was the return of AJ Styles to TNA Wrestling at Slammiversary, with the WWE star praising Leon Slater after his victory over Moose to claim the X-Division Championship.
