Apollo Crews is now in TNA Wrestling.<\/p>\n

He debuted for the promotion under his pre-WWE ring name Uhaa Nation at TNA Slammiversary, held Saturday at Boston\u2019s Agganis Arena.<\/p>\n

Nation was one of two mystery opponents for Mustafa Ali on the show, as Ali defended the TNA International Championship against Nation and Rich Swann in a three-way match. Ali retained by pinning Swann with a bridging suplex after Order 4 had buried Nation under the steel ring steps on the outside.<\/p>\n

After the match, TNA aired a backstage segment with Moose welcoming Nation to the company.<\/p>\n

Reports<\/a> that TNA<\/a> was interested in the 38-year-old Nation surfaced earlier this week, though it was unclear at the time whether he was under a 90-day non-compete following his WWE departure. <\/p>\n

Nation was part of the WWE roster cuts revealed on April 24. He is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion and United States Champion.<\/p>\n
