Abrupt End To World Title Match At TNA Sacrifice Over Potential Injury


A potential injury at TNA Sacrifice.

Tonight's PPV, coming live from New Orleans, Louisiana, featured Mike Santana defending the TNA World Title against Steve Maclin in the main event of the show. After some initial hard-hitting action, the bout ended abruptly when Maclin went down after eating a kick from the defending champion.

The referee checked on the challenger and stopped Santana from hitting Steve when Mike pulled him up. The ref then threw the X sign, indicating a real injury. The medical staff and TNA President Carlos Silva came out to check on Maclin, and he was then helped to the back.

Eddie Edwards, who won a TNA title shot in the Feast or Fired match in January, then ran out to try and attack Santana. The World Champion got the better of him, however, and he put Edwards through a table to end the show.

Based on the turn of events, it seems likely that an audible was called to send Edwards out after the unexpected injury to Steve Maclin. Stay tuned for more updates on his status.
