Mike Santana won his first major singles title at Bound For
Glory, successfully defeating champion Trick Williams to
become the new TNA World champion.
After winning the match with the discus lariat, things got a
little bit complicated as when TNA President Carlos Silva
was handing over the title, there were two teases of cashing
in the Call Your Shot gauntlet contract.
First it was Nic Nemeth, who came out with the trophy to
spoil the party but the lights went out and Elias returned
to take out the former Dolph Ziggler. Then, the other co-
winner of the gauntlet match, Frankie Kazarian, tried to
cash in but was unable to since he wasn’t in possession of
the trophy. Santana then decked him to neutralize the
threat.
After Santana was handed the title, his daughter joined him
in the ring and he gave her the belt for a nice little
moment.
This ends NXT’s Trick Williams 140-day reign as TNA
champion, a reign which started at NXT Battleground this
past May.
Santana also becomes the first Puerto Rican to win the TNA
World title.
