Mike Santana Had His World Championship Taken From Him

It took forever for Mike Santana to win the TNA World Championship. It was a long, not particularly easy journey to get there. He finally managed it at Bound for Glory last month, after a long build-up where he always fell short. It was a massive moment for everyone, but definitely for him. Unfortunately, even after he won the title, he would not hold it long. Only 32 days later, at TNA IMPACT, he lost the title.

His match against Ryan Nemeth was interrupted after WWE NXT stars invaded and beat him down. He was left lying as Frankie Kazarian then came out and cashed in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet on him, getting an immediate match against him. The star tried his best, but lost the championship. The call was controversial, as Santana had become a crowd favorite over the past year. His losing the title so fast did not go down well with fans, and as per speculation, not with Santana himself either.

In an earlier report, PWInsider stated that Santana did not appear for his scheduled meet-and-greet after the episode in which he lost the title. On top of that, the report stated that he was not answering the company's messages or calls either.

With the star set to take part in the Turning Point PPV tonight, at 2 PM EST, he was still not present at the show. The call time for the show was at 1 PM. His not turning up on time has stoked further speculation. Of course, there could be other reasons for his being late, with everything else being unconfirmed rumors. It could also be a part of a storyline angle.
