After spending months chasing the TNA World title and
finally winning it at Bound For Glory last month, Mike
Santana lost the title in his second title defense last
night on the live episode of Impact from Full Sail
University in Winter Park, Florida.
The first title defense also came yesterday, with Santana
defeating Ryan Nemeth via a disqualification after NXT stars
invaded the ring and beat down the champion.
That’s when Frankie Kazarian, who had the Call Your Shot
Gauntlet trophy, came out and cashed in on Santana, who was
being tended by medical personnel.
Kazarian wasted no time and hit his Fade to Black finisher
but Santana managed to kick out. A chicken wing attempt by
Kazarian also failed as Santana escaped and tried the
rolling lariat, but Santana’s arm gave out and Kazarian
rolled him up for the three count.
Santana’s reign lasted just 32 days and this is Kazarian’s
first run with the gold.
