TNA Wrestling star Mike Santana discussed various topics with Gabby AF, including his reaction to Trick Williams winning the TNA World Title from Joe Hendry at NXT Battleground 2025 last month.
Santana said, “I was sitting backstage in a small room with some of the production guys. When it happened, I was like, I posted a picture of me watching the TV as he’s raising the title, and yeah, I remember just saying, ‘I have to be the guy to bring it back.’ Even at that moment, I was like, I have to be the guy I have to, TNA has been so great to me. I have a lot of history there. I’m thankful that they gave me the opportunity to come back and be on this new journey of mine.”
On feeling upset, and that it was time to get to work:
“So I felt like, of course, I was upset, right? Trick is who he is, you know what I mean? But yeah, I was just like, yo, I gotta do this for me. I gotta do this for the brand, and that was the mindset right away. I was like, alright, now the work starts.”
