The stage is now set for the Showdown between TNA and NXT on Tuesday, October 7. 

 

Director of Authority Santino Marella announced that Mike Santana would captain the men's team, while new TNA Knockouts World Champion and NXT roster member Kelani Jordan would captain the women's team for the Survivor Series style matches. 

 

NXT General Manager Ava revealed the NXT team captains: NXT Champion Ricky Saints and NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne.

Mike Santana and Kelani Jordan were unsure of whose side Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace would be on, and they're not leaving next week up to chance. As a result, neither of them will be picked for Team TNA.

 

 

 

Here are the complete teams:

 

TNA Men's Team:

Mike Santana, Frankie Kazarian, Moose, Leon Slater

 

NXT Men's Team:

Ricky Saints, Trick Williams, Je'Von Evans, Myles Borne

 

 

TNA Women's Team:

Kelani Jordan, Cassie Lee, Jessie McKay, Mara Sadè

 

NXT Women's Team:

Jacy Jayne, Jaida Parker, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice

 

 

Both locker rooms surrounded the ring for the NXT vs. TNA Summit and it turned into a wall-to-wall brawl as NXT went off the air. 

 

 

Meanwhile, TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater crossed paths with Je'Von Evans as they expressed excitement for their upcoming dream match at Bound For Glory. They were confronted by The Culling, who laid out the challenge for a tag team match later in the night. Slater and Evans used their exhilarating offense to triumph over Shawn Spears and Niko Vance.
