Rumors are hot that Mike Santana is heading to sign with WWE. Santana dropped the TNA World Championship to Nic Nemeth at Slammiversary on Sunday. That led to curiosity if Santana’s time is over in the Impact Zone. Would TNA have plans for Santana to appear Thursday night on Impact? The answer is no. Santana did not appear on Impact (airing July 2, 2026; filmed on July 1, 2026) from Albany, New York. TNA didn’t even mention Santana on the injury report. Being that the Slammiversary finish definitely warranted a health update in storyline, it was conspicuous by its absence. In a funny twist for Nemeth as the heel, it was breaking news that he is in peak physical condition after the war against Santana. This is the Injury Report presented by @AMC_TV. #TNAiMPACT pic.twitter.com/kEby36Tehe — TNA Wrestling (@ThisIsTNA) July 3, 2026 There has been no official word yet from Santana or TNA about his current contract status. Now, we wait and see how the free agent transaction wire plays out
