Moose wants to play with the top dogs.
In recent weeks, fans have been buzzing about potential crossovers between WWE and TNA, as TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace has made multiple appearances for NXT. She challenged Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Championship at NXT Battleground, and Ash By Elegance also made a surprise appearance at the show.
During a virtual signing with K& S WrestleFest, TNA World Champion Moose brought up fans chanting for Joe Hendry at NXT Battleground.
"Did you see the Jordynne thing last night? They were chanting his name. They want Hendry. He might be the next person to cross the WWE doors," Moose said.
Moose was then asked about potentially crossing over to NXT like Jordynne Grace. He noted that he wasn't sure whether there was anyone in NXT who was capable of being him. Moose stated that he would want to play with the top dogs.
"I think NXT, I don’t know if there’s anybody in NXT that is capable of beating me. So for them to make it worth their while, they might want to bring me in to SmackDown or Raw. I’ve beat McIntyre, I’ve beat Bobby Lashley. Am I gonna wrestle [in NXT], Wes Lee? Come on. There’s great wrestlers in NXT, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve already beaten the guys there on the main roster, their superstars. I don’t think they would want me to damage the careers of their young puppies. So I think for me, it’s bring me in, let me play with the top dogs. Thats what my mindset is," Moose said.
