Mike Santana faces Steve Maclin in grudge match for TNA world title, Cedric Alexander's challenger and more

Steve Maclin made his dramatic return to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) on Thursday night’s "Impact" to take on Mike Santana for the world title.

Maclin’s match against Santana at Sacrifice was stopped due to an injury, and later, Maclin was briefly "fired" from the company before Director of Operations Daria Rae worked to get him reinstated. It was a highly anticipated match to see who would become the face of TNA.

Rae and Maclin were a part of a segment before the match began.
