New TNA World Champion crowned on Impact AMC premiere
Mike Santana is once again the TNA World Champion.
He defeated Frankie Kazarian in the main event of tonight’s Impact on AMC premiere. The finish saw Kazarian attempt his own version of Santana’s Spin The Block rolling lariat but Santana avoided it and hit his own version for the win.
As a result of the win, Santana will now defend the title against the former champion Kazarian at TNA Genesis on Saturday, January 17, 2026.
The title change was the 65th in the history of the TNA World title. Santana becomes the 16th wrestler to win the belt multiple times. His first reign ended after just 32 days. Kazarian’s run with the title ends after 63 days and two title defenses on TNA programming. He defended it against JDC at Final Resolution and then against Bear Bronson on the episode that aired on New Year’s Day.
