Nic Nemeth defeated Mike Santana to capture the TNA World Championship in the main event of Slammiversary on June 28, 2026. The victory marked Nemeth's second reign with the title and ended Santana's second run as champion.
The match featured a bloody back-and-forth contest. Santana sent Nemeth outside the ring multiple times before Ryan Nemeth's involvement led to his ejection. Nemeth then struck Santana with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy to gain an advantage.
Nemeth applied a sleeper hold but Santana broke free. The action continued with counters including superkicks and DDTs. Santana hit a Spin the Block but Nemeth responded with a Danger Zone for the pinfall victory.
Santana's contract with TNA is set to expire next month. Reports indicate WWE interest in signing the former champion, who previously appeared on NXT through a partnership. He could potentially debut on that brand if the move occurs.
