NXT Battleground featured cameos aplenty from a number of unfamiliar faces from outside the usual confines of Performance Center. How did TNA Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace do in her first match in WWE? And who may be the next person to make an appearance in TNA to NXT pipeline?

Plus a bit more about why a certain champion should stay in NXT a little longer and why there may be room for ONE more title on the main roster.

The Main Event

For this segment, we’re joined by Rufi Thorpe, author of the new book Margo’s Got Money Troubles (which will also have a series on Apple TV soon).

Bret Hart’s match against Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 and his infamous exit from WWF are both well documented; but in between those moments was a largely under-discussed heel turn that helped lay the foundation for the Attitude Era.

The Three Count

Julian put over Cody Rhodes being invited to the cookout. 

Danielle put over Zelina Vega dislocating her shoulder.

Hal put over Unwritten/unbrokken and Travis Kelce’s lease on life.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
