The rumors about Mike Santana's TNA contract and WWE's interest in his services may be true.

Santana put his TNA World Heavyweight Championship on the line Sunday night at Slammiversary against Nic Nemeth, and Nemeth did more than steal the show. He walked out of the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts, with the gold around his waist.

Thanks to a distraction from his brother, Ryan, Nemeth utilized the Call Your Shot trophy to bust Santana open. The blood loss eventually caught up to him as he fainted on a Spin the Block attempt down the stretch. Nemeth capitalized with a Danger Zone to win the title for a second time in his career. Nic and Ryan then stood in the center ring and popped some champagne bottles to celebrate his victory.

With the TNA World Championship no longer tying him down to the company, Santana may be ready to leave when his contract expires later this summer. We'll keep you posted on any updates regarding his TNA status as more information becomes available.

It was a very newsworthy Sunday night. Multiple championships changed hands, including the TNA Knockouts World Championship and both sets of tag team titles. Also, a brand new championship was introduced and two legends were announced for the 2026 TNA Hall of Fame Class.

Apollo Crews has also found himself a new home. After he was informed earlier this year that his WWE contract would expire, the former United States and Intercontinental Champion returned to his independent roots and debuted Uhaa Nation in TNA Wrestling. Here's everything you may have missed from Sunday's Slammiversary pay-per-view.
