Amongst the crop of competitors, fans saw Elijah, Eric Young, The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, and Bear Bronson) Order 4 (Special Agent Zero, Jason Hotch, John Skyler), Home Town Man, Frankie Kazarian, and lots of others.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Former ECW World Tag Team Champion Mustafa Saed emerged as a surprise entrant, equipped with a trash chain and fistful of chain. Saed immediately faced off with Special Agent Zero, with the 2 trading jabs until the TNA regular eliminated the ECW alum for the primary elimination. The sector quickly dwindled as Dutch and Zero were concurrently dumped to the surface afterward. BDE and Mr. Elegance met the ground as well within the seconds following.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Eventually, Edwards, Bronson, Elijah and Young stood as the ultimate 4. Seemingly still heated about his recent loss to Elijah, Kazarian tried to eliminate the musical star by his hair. As a substitute, Elijah tossed a charging Bronson and Edwards excessive rope and to the ground. With just Elijah and Young left, the motion then moved to the apron. Chops were traded and a low blow was taken, causing Elijah to fall off and Young to have a good time his win.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As of this writing, the date and placement for Santana&#8217;s world title defense against Young has yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, Young has promised to &#8220;cleanse&#8221; TNA of Santana at any time when they do meet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TNA The identity of TNA World Champion Mike Santana&#8217;s next challenger was determined within the opening bout of &#8220;Thursday Night iMPACT.&#8221; This week&#8217;s &#8220;iMPACT&#8221; kicked off with a battle royal wherein the winner would earn a future shot on the TNA World Championship, currently held by Mike Santana.
