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 for the win.

As a result, Santana will defend the title against Kazarian, the former champion, at TNA Genesis on Saturday, January 17, 2026. This title change marks the 65th in TNA World title history, and Santana becomes the 16th wrestler to win the belt multiple times. His first reign ended after just 32 days, while Kazarian’s run ends after 63 days and two title defenses on TNA programming, including matches against JDC at Final Resolution and Bear Bronson on New Year’s Day.
