Chaos erupts as Santana is attacked and Frankie Kazarian capitalizes
Summary
– NXT talent stormed the ring during Santana’s title defense
– The attack left Santana vulnerable moments before a cash-in
– Frankie Kazarian used his Call Your Shot trophy to win the TNA World Title
NXT’s latest strike arrived without warning during Santana’s TNA World Title defense on the November 13 edition of iMPACT. The match barely settled in before Lexis King, Charlie Dempsey, Stacks, Brooks Jenson, and additional NXT names flooded the ring to overpower the champion. Officials stopped the match immediately as the invading group stood over Santana and exited.
TNA wrestlers rushed out to help, yet none arrived in time to prevent the damage already done. Santana tried to pull himself together, but Frankie Kazarian emerged with the Call Your Shot gauntlet trophy and made his intentions clear. The cash-in forced Santana back into action while still recovering from the ambush.
Santana fought with what he had left, pushing through long enough to create doubt in Kazarian’s plan. The challenger relied on timing and leverage to secure a roll-up, ending the night as the new TNA World Champion. Santana remained down in the ring as Kazarian celebrated a title win made possible by the ongoing tension between the two promotions.
The NXT–TNA partnership continues shifting the competitive landscape. This latest interference shows that championship gold is now more vulnerable than ever, regardless of who holds it.
