Moose would give 110% if he had the opportunity to cross over to WWE.
Since NXT and TNA started collaborating, fans have been buzzing about more potential crossovers. TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace has already competed on NXT programming, and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose has previously expressed his interest in crossing over.
Speaking on Gabby AF, Moose was asked whether there was any talk of him crossing over to WWE and if that was something he would want to do.
“That’s not a secret about the crossover, like you mentioned. It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal for TNA, it’s a big deal for the guys who have been lucky enough to make that crossover and do stuff with them. I don’t know much about it. I try not to look into those things and get my hopes up or think much about. Just whenever it happens, if it happens, I’ll be excited to do it, whatever they have, if they have something. Obviously, I’m happy with doing stuff with WWE, the biggest wrestling company in the world, bar none, and I’m happy for my friends, with Jordynne and Joe, so has gotten a chance to do stuff with them. They did great. Look at Joe, overnight star after appearance, and Frankie [Kazarian], he’s a good friend of mine. So I try not to think about it, I try not to put my hopes up. I just do what I do until hopefully I get a call saying I’m gonna do something. No matter what it is, I’ll be happy and give 110% my best effort to whatever that is," Moose said.
Moose was then asked whether there was anyone he wanted to face, and he named NXT's Trick Williams and Oba Femi as possibilities. He emphasized that he believed that he could have a good match with anyone.
"I can only go off of what I’ve heard Twitter. Trick [Williams], I think he’s their champion. There’s another guy there, Oba Femi. We’re both from the same heritage, we’re both Nigerians, so that would be something cool. Honestly, I hate to single people out and leave people not in the list. Whoever they think or TNA thinks or whoever’s in charge of this relationship, whoever they think that I could have a great match with, I could probably have a good match with, I’m at a part of my career where I could have a great match with anybody. It really doesn’t matter who you bring up or who you take me there to wrestle, it doesn’t matter, I would be happy for the opportunity and I would give 110%," Moose said.
Later in the interview, the crossover came up again, and Moose stated that he didn't want to get excited about anything until it happened, so he was focused on dominating TNA.
“I’m one of those guys that I hate to get excited about anything that‘s not possible until it becomes possible, or until it actually happens. Even though we have a working relationship with WWE, my name hasn’t been mentioned, and I don’t want to think about it. I just don’t even think about it. I’ll just keep dominating my company until whatever happens happens," Moose said.
Moose has said that he wants to face Gunther and Bron Breakker. Check out his comments here.
