The first-ever NXT vs TNA Showdown is set to deliver shocking moments that have fans buzzing. While four matches have already been announced, several TNA superstars could make surprise appearances, adding even more excitement to the event. Wrestling fans won’t want to miss the unexpected twists and turns in this epic NXT vs TNA clash.
Here’s a look at the surprises to expect at NXT vs TNA Showdown 2025.
Matt Cardona
Matt Cardona is the biggest name from TNA that has not been announced for the show who could surprise the fans on this show. Matt Cardona has made the most of this opportunity with this partnership but it was surprising that he was not booked in a match for Showdown. Matt Cardona will be a big surprise and he might help team TNA win the match. He can use this opportunity to show WWE that he deserves to be brought back to WWE and he can comeback and have a second WWE run.
Tessa Blanchard
This is the most controversial name in this list. It cannot be ignored that she is in the active TNA roster. Tessa Blanchard has not been used in this partnership so far. That doesn’t mean that she will not be used at all. She could make a shocking appearance at the event. This might make the IWC angry but she is one of the most famous names in the promotion. Tessa Blanchard could cost team TNA the match because she does not care about Brand loyalty.
Oba Femi
Oba Femi recently lost the NXT Championship against Ricky Saints in 2025 NXT No Mercy. He has not been seen since and him appearing at this event would be a massive surprise. The NXT and WWE fans have been wondering whether Oba Femi is going to the main roster or not. Oba Femi being a part of NXT till Survivor series will be ideal and after that he can be called up. Oba Femi would give NXT a massive advantage and be the most powerful in an instant
Gail Kim
This is the most wild prediction for a surprise in this list. Gail Kim has not been seen on WWE TV in years. She was fired by TNA months ago. Gail Kim could shock the TNA wrestlers and management by joining WWE and NXT during this show. The fans will be very happy to see her and she could be the X factor that will help NXT get an advantage over TNA. Gail Kim has been in good relationship with WWE ever since Triple H took over and she even praises the company whenever she deems appropriate. It is time for Gail Kim to return home to WWE. There can be no better show to do this surprise.
