Overview
- The TNA World Championship main event at Sacrifice, held Friday, ended in a no-contest after Mike Santana’s superkick left challenger Steve Maclin unable to continue, and Santana remained champion.
- Referee Alice Lane quickly threw the X signal used to stop matches for real injuries as TNA medical staff and president Carlos Silva rushed to ringside and escorted Maclin to the back.
- Carlos Silva confirmed late Friday that hospital testing did not diagnose Maclin with a concussion, and he was released to return to his hotel.
- With the title bout halted, future contender Eddie Edwards hit the ring to attack Santana, and an improvised brawl with a table spot closed the show.
- Santana later said he was glad Maclin is doing well and praised TNA and referee Alice Lane for how the situation was handled, following early reports that had suggested a likely concussion.
