WWE NXT’s Nikkita Lyons Steps Into TNA with Controversial Finish in Tag Team Showdown

Nikkita Lyons is making waves beyond WWE NXT, stepping into the TNA ring and causing quite a stir.

During the May 15, 2025, episode of TNA iMPACT!, Lyons teamed up with TNA Women’s Champion Masha Slamovich against Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford.

The match ended in chaos when Slamovich grabbed a steel chair and smashed Tessa Blanchard, leading to a disqualification. Santino Marella attempted to restart the match, but Robert Stone intervened, ensuring the bout remained a DQ finish.

This wasn’t Lyons’ first appearance outside WWE. last week, she made her presence known in EVOLVE, facing Kendal Gray in a backstage segment set up by General Manager Stevie Turner. Lyons defeated Gray in the main event, but the real drama unfolded after the match when Kali Armstrong attacked Gray’s injured knee, setting up more tension for EVOLVE’s women’s division.
