# WWE Star Comments On History-Making TNA Wrestling Debut

WWE’s Dante Chen has celebrated a historic moment in TNA Wrestling after making his debut on the August 8 episode of Impact.

Chen competed in the Ultimate X Qualifying three-way match that also featured Zachary Wentz and KC Navarro.

The episode was recorded on August 2 with Wentz going on to win the match, progressing to the Ultimate X match at TNA Emergence on August 30.

Although he may not have been victorious in the match, Chen was full of positivity as he reflected on the match afterwards – particularly the fact his debut made TNA history as he became the first Singapore-born star to compete in the iMPACT Zone.

It was made even more poignant as August marks the 59th anniversary of Singapore’s independence, with Chen tweeting:

*“Total Nonstop Act-CHEN! 💥*

*“It was the first time Singapore was represented in the iMPACT Zone. My gift to my home’s 59th National Day.”*

WWE NXT will be represented in the Ultimate X match at TNA Emergence with Riley Osborne moving forward in a qualifier also taped on August 2.
