I'm going to guess most fans would go "Who the f*** are these guys?" Vince will be in the ring asking for fan opinions of who he should hire. There will be no Buff Bagwell reactions; it'll purely be crickets or pin drops being heard.

Introducing Joe - During Raw, costumed ninjas carry a tied-up, hooded man to the ring and leave him in the middle. Daniel Bryan comes to the rescue, chasing off the ninjas and pulls the hood off of Joe, who looks around and is shocked to see where he is. There is never any mention of TNA or this event happening ever again. Joe is booked into obscurity as a dancing fat samoan.

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". Then Roode low blows Sting.

The Wolves, Magnus, & Gunner hit the ring and ruin an NXT title match, leaving Adrian Neville laying.
Social media sites everywhere are flooded with, "no seriously, the f*** is a TNA?" comments.

WWE signs everyone the week after TNA folds.
TNA invades, during a Ryder/Kidd/Slater/Titus match on Raw the following week, but the 4 of them fend off the entire invasion and pummel them all in a 20-minute Nexus-like beating.
Amidst the chaos, it is noticed that Alberto Del Rio is in the TNA gang, but it's not referenced or mentioned and he ends up getting beaten bloody the worst oddly enough.
TNA are all released immediately (ADR included), the website never mentions any of it, and programming resumes.
And then the week after, Brad Maddox returns as a transvestite named Dicks E. Katar and remains on television for the next 10 years like that. Because of everything in TNA to reference forever, it's the one person that most if not all TNA fans couldn't stand.

TNA has had more ridiculous real-life-dramedy than WCW did, but it comes no where as close to the level of fame and popularity that WCW enjoyed back in the day. I've said it before and I'll say it again, TNA is the cheap Hong Kong knockoff of WCW.
It would be like if it was 1993 and the NBA brought the Washington Generals into the league and hyped up a game vs the Bulls.

TNA invasion: everybody on the TNA roster acts like Sean Stasiak circa 2001. Slipping on banana peels and all sorts of goofyness.
The whole invasion lasts 2 minutes and is shown only on the WWE App.

12 TNA wrestlers stand in the ring demanding respect. Zach Ryder comes down and gives all of them the Rough Ryder. El Torito comes down to the ring and drops a cowpie on all their faces. The end.

Even worse then WCW, TNA now in it's dieing days has no identity. It would be an invasion of former ECW/WCW/WWF guys. I mean at one time the X-Division was very unique, however TNA programming told us they would prefer to show ECW reunions. AJ Styles was the company face, but he needed to be put over by Christian, Flair, Hardy, etc. and in true TNA fashion ultimately they chose to spend money on MVP and Lashley instead of their franchise player. The Canadian Destroyer was the most talked about finisher once upon a time, but they decided Petey needed to be Scott Steiner. Samoa Joe was a heavy-weight who wrestled like a cruiser, but boy was he no Kurt Angle. Don West was an acquired taste but he was something unique, but they shelved him for Taz. Six-sides became the standard four. Eric Young became the Sam's Club version of Daniel Bryan. TNA has a hall of fame and it's only inductees are Sting, Angle, and the Dudleys. That should tell you all you need to know.
Why would WWE waste the money or time on guys they've already tried with before? The only thing worth a damn left is Jeremy Borash to hang around back stage with Joey Styles the only thing left from ECW that matters. (Well ok, Heyman but let's be real, he's here only as long as Brock is.)

I honestly don't think TNA holds enough credibility to form a legitimate "invasion" angle. I think most novice fans would think "who the hell is TNA?". Only the most hardcore fans would even understand the storyline, and even then there are only a handful of wrestlers who could even make a slight breakthrough in the current WWE. Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy are not "TNA enough" to be brought back in as invaders from a rival promotion. Angle could come back and instantly be a Wrestlemania main eventer. Hardy still has a huge WWE fan following - you still see Jeff Hardy t-shirts at live events even now, so his debut would be as a returning WWE star. Bubba Dudley couldn't get over as a singles star, he would need Devon to come back and they would need to return as the Dudley Boyz, although I would love to see a Dudleyz tag-team run. Bobby Lashley would be a Bautista-type return. Ken Kennedy.....would anyone even remember him? Rhyno???
The only guys I could see making a TNA invasion work would be a group consisting of Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Eric Young, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Shima Xion, etc. but even then most of those guys would need to start in NXT.
It just wouldn't work.

I don't want to see a "TNA Invasion" per say. The Invasion thing is so played out. Those TNA guys should come to the WWE for individual reasons, but for necessity some will need to bond together. They're just trying to survive in this business, and what better PPV to feature them on then Survivor Series? Contracts and stuff can be on the line. I would book a Survivor Series Match something like R-Truth, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Miz, and Sheamus vs. Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Eric Young, Samoa Joe, and James Storm. Cena vs. Lashley for the World Title.

There's a better chance of TNA invading ROH than TNA invading WWE. If you thought WWE treated the Alliance as also rans and jokes, wait until this fantasy scenario happens.
