World Championship match announced for TNA Sacrifice

The TNA World Championship match for Sacrifice has been announced.

Despite receiving a pink slip in the Feast or Fired match earlier this year, Steve Maclin will challenge for the promotion’s World Championship at the March 27 event in New Orleans.

On Thursday’s live episode of TNA Impact from Atlanta, The SUIT Daria Rae reinstated Maclin. TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella then came to the stage and made the title match for Sacrifice official.

Santana won the title on the promotion’s AMC debut show on January 15. He has defended it successfully once so far, against former champion Frankie Kazarian at Genesis.

Maclin was involved in a segment on last week’s show that saw him attack Tom Hannifan during an in-ring interview before Santana ran in to make the save. Hannifan said the company was “enabling” Maclin on commentary after he was reinstated.

TNA Sacrifice 2026 will take place at the Alario Center in Westwego, Louisiana. No other matches have been announced for the show thus far.
