Mike Santana would be the current TNA World Champion, but in line with a brand new report, he’ll be a free agent this yr, and WWE has interest within the star. Santana has previously worked in “WWE NXT” through the partnership forged between firms firstly of last yr.
In line with WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select on Thursday, Santana’s work and professionalism are highly regarded in WWE, and there may be support from no less than one primary roster talent for WWE bringing him in. The outlet reported that WWE would debut Santana on the primary roster by the top of the yr if he’s signed, but what brand he would seem on hasn’t been decided.
Santana’s TNA deal is predicted to be up this summer, in line with WrestleVotes Radio, but exactly when the deal expires wasn’t noted. Santana hasn’t publicly stated what he plans to do, whether that be re-sign with TNA, or leave for WWE.
He won the TNA World Championship for the primary time back at Sure for Glory 2025 from “NXT” star Trick Williams. He won the title a second time from Frankie Kazarian on January 15, when “TNA iMPACT” made its debut on the AMC network. He most recently defended the gold against Steve Maclin on the May 15 edition of “iMPACT.”
He made his “NXT” debut in May 2025 at Battleground and defeated Tavion Heights in his first match on the brand. He first challenged Williams for the TNA Championship in WWE in June, then didn’t appear on WWE programming again until the WWE vs. TNA “Showdown” angle, when TNA stars invaded the WWE Performance Center to brawl with “NXT” talent.
