TNA Halts World Title Main Event After Apparent Steve Maclin Concussion

TNA halted the title match to protect Steve Maclin’s health.

Overview

  • At the Sacrifice special on March 27, the TNA World Championship main event was stopped and ruled a no-contest, which kept Mike Santana as champion.
  • A superkick from Santana landed flush early, and Steve Maclin appeared dazed and unable to continue.
  • Referee Alice Lane signaled the X for a real injury, and doctors and TNA President Carlos Silva rushed to check on Maclin at ringside.
  • Maclin was taken backstage for evaluation as Eddie Edwards hit the ring to attack Santana, and the show closed after Santana put Edwards through a table with a frog splash.
  • TNA has not issued a formal medical update, though PWInsider reports a possible concussion and that Maclin was coherent but upset backstage.
