TNA Impact live results: Mike Santana vs. Eric Young

Mike Santana retained the TNA World Championship by defeating Eric Young on the June 12, 2026, episode of TNA Impact. According to F4W/WON, Santana secured the victory via a roll-up after Ricky Sosa distracted Young, a result that maintains Santana’s title hold heading into a scheduled match against Nic Nemeth at Slammiversary.

The June 12 broadcast featured matches taped previously at the National Western Center in Denver, Colorado. The main event centered on the rivalry between Santana and Young, which escalated on June 5, 2026, when Young delivered a piledriver to Santana following claims that TNA required saving, according to F4W/WON.

During the championship bout, Santana opened the match with a superkick and a jumping slam. F4W/WON reported that Santana maintained early momentum with a cannonball in the corner and a sit-out powerbomb. Young responded by sending Santana into the steel steps and executing a neckbreaker on the ring apron.

The match intensified after a commercial break, with Young sending Santana over the top rope to the floor. Santana eventually regained control by hitting a Spanish Fly from the top rope, followed by a big boot and a spinning kick. Santana then countered a waistlock into a bulldog and a cutter, according to F4W/WON.

The finish occurred after Santana attempted his Spin The Block maneuver, which resulted in the referee being knocked down. While the official was incapacitated, Young struck Santana with the championship belt and delivered a piledriver. F4W/WON reported that Santana broke the count by grabbing the ropes. The appearance of Ricky Sosa at the entrance ramp distracted Young, allowing Santana to roll him up for the pinfall victory.

Following the match, Nic Nemeth entered the ring. While Nemeth considered cashing in a trophy, he instead helped Santana to his feet. Nemeth stated he did not want to become champion in that manner because he is a man of his word, according to F4W/WON. Nemeth then challenged Santana for a match at Slammiversary, a bout that F4W/WON noted had already been booked.

Why did Mr. Elegance defeat Elijah?
