The “WWE NXT” match took place Sunday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, where TNA Knockouts Champion Jordin Grace had a losing match to Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship. Grace’s real-life husband, former ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham, was present backstage, along with several TNA stars, and it was him. He took to social media Monday morning Sharing that watching his wife compete for the NXT Women’s Championship was the “highlight” of his career, he posted a photo of himself with Joe and Mark Coffey of Gallus.

“What an experience it was backstage at NXT Battleground,” Gresham wrote. “Watching my wife challenge for the NXT Title at Battleground is the highlight of my career so far. I was able to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in person in years. From the Dojo at Zero 1 Japan to working for the biggest company in the world I love to see.”
There is currently no indication if Gresham will appear in WWE in the near future, but with the likes of Grace, former AEW star Ethan Page and former WWE star Ash by Elegance (aka Dana Brooke) appearing at Battleground, the crossover relationship between WWE and TNA continues continues to grow stronger, which could leave the door open for Gresham to make his WWE debut.

Gresham recently returned to TNA programming, wrestling KUSHIDA at TNA’s Under Siege PPV and Sami Callihan on the most recent episode of “TNA Impact.” He is currently approaching the two-year anniversary of his departure from AEW.
