Uhaa Nation Makes His TNA Wrestling Debut at Slammiversary 2026, Mustafa Ali Manages To Retain Title

Uhaa Nation is now officially part of TNA Wrestling. The wrestler, formerly WWE Superstar and Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews, made his TNA debut at today’s Slammiversary 2026, using his old ring name of Uhaa Nation.

Uhaa Nation answered Musta Ali’s TNA International Title Open Challenge Match as Santino Marella’s chosen opponent. Rich Swann was also in the matchup, chosen by Daria Rae, making it a Triple Threat bout.

Despite the shock of facing not only one but two opponents at the event, Mustafa Ali was undeterred, and he managed to retain his TNA International Championship.

Nation was released by WWE two months ago following WrestleMania 42 after over 10 years with the promotion. He now looks for a career reset as part of the TNA Wrestling roster.

After the match, Moose reunited with his longtime friend in a backstage segment, telling Nation that he’s glad he’s here and that they’re both finally in the same company together. Moose told Nation that he had a tough night but would bounce back soon, then stepped away to walk out for his No Surrender matchup with Eddie Edwards.

Highlights and clips of the International Title bout are available below. You can also check out 411’s live coverage of the event RIGHT HERE.
