Nic Nemeth called his shot and challenged Mike Santana for the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Championship at Slammiversary on Sunday – and he did not miss.
It was a classic main event between the two talented wrestlers. Nemeth came into the match looking to knock off Santana, who had been the champion for nearly a year. Nemeth had his brother on his side to help play some mind games during the match.

Ryan Nemeth distracted the referee and got himself ejected almost instantly. It was enough time for Nic Nemeth to knock Santana down with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy. Santana was bleeding from the head after the smack.
Nemeth hit Santana with a superkick but Santana countered with Spin the Block. The pin was futile. Nemeth then connected with a few superkicks and a Danger Zone but couldn’t keep Santana down.
But Santana would run out of steam. After kicking out of Nemeth’s latest combination, he fell into Nemeth’s arms. Nemeth hit another Danger Zone and pinned Santana for the win.
It’s the second TNA World Championship reign for Nemeth. His first title reign started at Slammiversary 2024 when he defeated Moose, Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, Frankie Kazarian and Joe Hendry. Two years later, he’s back on top of TNA.
