TNA’s Moose Meets WWE Legend Shawn Michaels Amid Growing NXT-TNA Partnership

The NXT-TNA crossover just took another major step forward, and Moose is making sure everyone knows it.

After his shock appearance on the February 18 episode of WWE NXT, where he confronted NXT Champion Oba Femi, the TNA X-Division Champion kept the momentum rolling with a legendary backstage moment.

Taking to Twitter/X on February 21, Moose shared two photos alongside WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, writing, “What an awesome moment meeting one of the legends I grew up watching. @ShawnMichaels ……..Really truly awesome #NXTNA.”

The pictures show Moose standing proudly next to The Heartbreak Kid, flashing his TNA gold as the two posed for the camera.

This meeting comes after Moose interrupted Femi on NXT, letting the champion know that he’s there to be “the man Oba Femi can’t rule.” The two went face-to-face and agreed to a future match, though WWE has yet to confirm when the showdown will happen.

Moose’s involvement in NXT adds another major wrinkle to WWE’s partnership with TNA, which has already seen Jordynne Grace step into the Royal Rumble and other TNA stars make their presence known. With Moose now teasing a future match against Femi, the crossover energy between the two promotions is only getting stronger.
