A legendary figure from the UFC entered a World Championship wrestling match to assist AJ Styles in winning.
Several UFC celebrities, such as Ronda Rousey, Cain Velazquez, and Ken Shamrock, have transitioned into the professional wrestling industry.
In the past, Vince McMahon attempted to undermine the UFC by providing a $100,000 bribe, demonstrating the frequent conflict between the two combat sports organizations.
A former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion knocked out a WWE Hall of Famer in 2005 after entering the squared circle.
To assist AJ Styles in winning TNA gold, Tito Ortiz knocked down Jeff Jarrett.
At TNA’s Hard Justice in 2005, Ortiz served as the special guest referee for the World Heavyweight Championship match between AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett.
When Ortiz punched the WWE Hall of Famer to the ground, Jarrett, who was the villain at the time, received more than he had anticipated.
Regarding his TNA debut, Ortiz told WrestlingInc, “I really punched him and knocked him out, and I crushed him in his face.”
He went on to say: “AJ Styles then won the match, took home the title, and emerged victorious that evening.” It was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed it.
When Ortiz was introduced as the “August 1 Warning” in the Aces & Eights and Main Event Mafia plot in 2013, it was one of the many times he would return to TNA.
