Lets say TNA does fold , & WWE buys them out -How would you book an invasion, a good invasion not what happened with wcw/ecw. I would do something like this , At the end of Sunmerslam Cena retains the title- an enraged Brock Lesnar Destroys Cena with multiple F5's , Seth Rollins runs out to cash in. Goes to pin Cena as a masked enters the ring and stops the three count , triple H leads Kane , Orton & Cesaro to the ring to take down the mystery man. They enter the ring , a group of 10 masked men surround the ring , they enter & beat down the authority - nexus debut style . The first masked man reveals himself to be Kurt Angle , alongside the Dufleys,Abyss, Samoa Joe,James Storm, Bobby Roode,Austin Aries,Lashley

All the TNA guys run in and Roman Reigns Superman Punches them one by one into oblivion.
That's probably the most realistic scenario, at least, in WWE Land.

I'd laugh if WWE did a TNA Invasion, but the guys they use are AJ Styles, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, etc.

in reality it would be the modern equivalent of that NWA invasion angle they ran in 1998

I don't bother. I could find ways to introduce Joe and Roode and reintroduce Angle, Dudleys, Hardys, and perhaps Morgan. An invasion angle would suck and be the third time that the WWE did an invasion angle in the last two decades (four if you count the arrival of the NWO as an invasion).

I could find ways to introduce Joe That's an easy one. Bring him in as the Usos cousin Joe "Joe Uso" is something they can trademark. he still kind of keeps his identity and it's a parody on how every samoan wrestler seems to be related

I could find ways to introduce Joe That's an easy one. Bring him in as the Usos cousin Joe "Joe Uso" is something they can trademark. he still kind of keeps his identity and it's a parody on how every samoan wrestler seems to be related I think that is aiming kind of low, to be honest. I think that with someone like Joe you might as well aim for the stars. He has the international reputation that might make it work and he is too old to do a slow build with. I would bring him in as follows: John Cena starts inserting himself in between HHH and his cronies (if he hasn't already. Full disclosure: I have not watched since Bryan's injury) and their current targets of choice. Cena's motivation is that he dislikes people acting like bullies and feels as though standing on the sidelines is tantamount to condoning that behavior. Unlike anyone else that might get in HHH's way, Cena is one guy that HHH is not interesting in taking down to make a point. Why? It is bad for business. Cena is the franchise. He is the moneymaker. Sure, HHH is willing to fight him if push comes to shove, but he would rather cut and run rather than risk serious injury to the franchise. This is something that Cena is able to take advantage of for several weeks to thwart HHH's schemes. Eventually HHH loses it and gives Cena an ultimatum: Stay out of my way or I will unleash a hell that only I can provide. Needless to say, Cena is not impressed by this threat and gets involved one more time. After being chased back to the top of the ramp, HHH cuts the following promo: HHH: Alright. I tried to be nice. I tried to do the right thing by the company. I tried to pull my punches in this instance. I warned you that I would not do so anymore and you still would not listen. You want it that way? Fine! I'm going to do something that I have wanted to do for a long, long time but have always been prevented from doing. You think I'm unreasonable? That I'm an asshole? Cena, I have been saving your ass for years and you did not even know it! Do you remember the first time we met? I was not in the position in the company that I am in now, but my opinion did carry weight at the time. So much so that when the WWE wants to do an important recruitment and scouting outing they asked me to come along. Do you remember that day? I remember it well. You came bursting into the room, tried your damnedest to impress the hell out of everyone in the room. You shook all the right hands, said all the right things, and then showed all the right tools in the ring when you got the chance. I'll admit, I was impressed. The WWE had one roster spot open at the time and the WWE selected you. I'll admit, it worked like a damned dream. You were everything that you promised that you could be that day. You exceeded everyone's greatest dreams of what your potential could possibly be. You are the Franchise. The Money Maker. The Brand. Having said that, there was only one roster spot open at the time. When asked for my opinion, I was honest. While I was impressed as everyone else with you, I recommended that they hire the guy we were there to see in the first place. Despite how good you turned out to be, I still think we should have hired that guy. I want the best. I want the strongest. I want the toughest. That guy is just that, far more than you. Once I came to be in the position that I could hire that guy, I called him right up. Unfortunately, we could never make it happen. The snag in our negotiations is unlike something I have ever seen in this industry. The hang-up was never money as he would be worth anything he asked for. The hang-up was never opportunities as this guy was good enough to force anything he wished. What was the hang-up? It was you. You see, I could never sign this guy because of you. I never blamed you for the fact that he isn't in the WWE, but he does. We came in with such pomp and circumstance to specifically make a big show of recruiting him and you, his friend at the time, came sweeping into the room uninvited and stole his triumphant moment. When negotiating to sign him years later he let slip that he was anxious to get his hands on you to make you pay for that. He is so damned good that I had no doubt that he would not just hurt you; he would destroy you. The Franchise would end. No more money to be made. The Brand becomes worthless. As badly as I wanted to sign him, I knew damned good and well that I could not bring him in. That was not the right business decision at the time. That moment has passed. Tomorrow I am going to get on a jet and offer him whatever he wants. I will give him that big contract. I will grant him any demands he might make. He will be worth it. You may be the Franchise, but even you can be replaced. Soon as we put pen to paper you will cease to be a thorn in my side. You will no longer be my problem. Do you know why? Because Joe's going to kill you.

Sting takes them all out one by one with his baseball bat. Upon knocking them all out, he stands victorious, only to be kicked in the nuts by Triple H.

They keep trying to say hi to Christian, but he keeps diving out of sight. It gets to a point where he puts on the Bunny costume, still talks with his regular voice, and only TNA guys don't know it's Christian.

I think how much their demise was referenced on twitter shows most wrestling fans know about TNA but I'm not sure they would be familiar enough with the roster for an invasion to work.
I imagine they'll be a few in jokes that'll make it on to TV. Maybe Sting is back stage warming up he sees one of the WWEs latest hires (Hardy or Roode) walk past him. Sting: "Well that didn't last long". Roode: "It happens".

Bobby Roode, Kaz, Chris Daniels, Samoa Joe and James Storm debut, lose to Cena and Sheamus in a handicap match, then are put in a box labeled "NXT".
Cena: Hey, I think it's an upgrade over where we found them.
R-Truth and Christian walk by, see the box, and run.

TNA guys show up and brawl with the entire WWE roster. Dixie Carter comes out and everyone stops fighting to see what she has to say because she's really cool and mega interesting. She yells "STOP. I invited them!!"

I wouldn't do an invasion.
I'd have Triple H announce the purchase, and also announce a TNA One Night Stand type of event (but not call it that, call it Final Impact or something) and throughout the show primarily focus on wrestlers that are going to be signed to WWE, and put people like Christian and R-Truth on the show. I'd have every title on the line, and by the end Samoa Joe is World Champion.
Then at the next WWE ppv I would do unification matches for the tag and women's belts. I would incorporate the X Division into WWE (a Cruiserweight division without the negative stigma attached to that name), and maybe the Women's tag titles if I felt I had the roster/time to give it.
As far as Joe, I would simply have WWE not mention him. Meanwhile, fans are wondering what is up, and after a couple of weeks, Joe starts putting up YouTube videos cutting promos stating that WWE is too scared to sign him, etc. Joe then begins defending the TNA World title in ROH, Japan, indies, etc like Punk should have done when he "left" as champ. Eventually, when enough people are bringing Joe signs to Raw and doing Joe chants, Triple H discusses the situation on one of his sit down interviews on WWE.com (I would want a lot of buzz around Joe, but not actually acknowledge it on WWE tv).
Not long after, Joe shows up in the front row of Raw and runs into the ring and kills a bunch of guys that never get tv time anyway (like Lesnar's debut). Security escorts him out of the building, and the next week Triple H announces that if Joe wants to be in WWE so bad he can have a unification match at the next ppv. If Joe wins, he is champ and also gets a contract. However if Joe loses, he will never be in WWE and must stop publicly bad mouthing them because it's bad for business.
Joe wins the belt, and comes in as champ, instant new star as either top hero or top heel depending on how WWE fans feel about it. Then Joe loses the belt to Bryan or Reigns or Lesnar or whoever but stays on the WWE roster.
