Dark State Crashes iMPACT Wrestling and Attacks The System After WWE NXT Invasion

The cross-brand chaos between WWE and TNA just got even messier.

Just days after TNA stars invaded WWE NXT, the favor was returned—this time on TNA’s turf. During the first hour of the July 17 episode of iMPACT Wrestling, NXT faction Dark State stormed the ring and ambushed The System right after their entrance.

The segment was short but intense. The System—JDC, Brian Meyers, and Eddie Edwards—barely had time to soak in the crowd reaction before Dark State appeared and jumped them without hesitation. It was a direct payback for what went down on the July 15 episode of NXT, where TNA’s trio interrupted a six-man tag and went toe-to-toe with the NXT roster.

Trick Williams, who still holds the TNA World Title, was left watching from outside the ring during the NXT beatdown and didn’t look thrilled. Now, with Dark State dragging this battle into TNA’s own arena, the line between the brands is vanishing fast.

Neither company has addressed the situation officially, but one thing is clear—this isn’t a one-time stunt. With both sides now throwing punches on each other’s shows, a full-scale war between NXT and TNA could be right around the corner.
