The TNA World Championship is set to be defended next week on Impact.

Following the conclusion of TNA Rebellion and its fallout episode, the promotion has now announced its updated next week lineup.

Next week on the April 23rd episode of TNA Impact on AMC, Mike Santana will defend his World title against Rich Swann.

The episode will also feature newly turned heel Xia Brookside, making her first comments since turning on her former partner Lei Ying Lee and costing her the Knockouts title match at Rebellion.

Matt Hardy, with his brother Jeff Hardy, will also take on Dutch, while Nic Nemeth is set to clash against Bear Bronson.

At Rebellion, fans also witnessed Trey Miguel lose his TNA International title to Mustafa Ali. However, in the process, he also suffered an injury and has been ruled out of future TNA events.
