Fans Outraged Over Trick Williams’ Controversial Win at TNA Slammiversary

Trick Williams left Slammiversary 2025 still holding the TNA World Title—but fans aren’t celebrating. After faking a knee injury mid-match and stealing a pinfall on Joe Hendry, Williams walked out champion, and fans instantly hit social media to tear into TNA’s booking decision.

One fan pointed out what most were thinking: Mike Santana was right there, and TNA still didn’t pull the trigger—despite the hometown crowd and momentum.

“MIKE SANTANA WAS RIGHT F***** THERE.”*

Another fan said TNA looked weak compared to NXT and told them to “take a seat.”

“Ya letting nxt b*** ya out btw LMFAOO go to your chair lil bro.”*

Frustration grew as more fans slammed TNA’s decision to let Williams win via deception—especially with Santana in his hometown. One user said the WWE partnership had lost its spark and was making the company look like it didn’t even trust its own locker room.

“Mike Santana was RIGHT there. In his hometown. This partnership is getting old fast. Loved it in the beginning but can we please keep the titles out of it. Shows how little faith you have in your own roster. Not a good look.”

Another longtime fan delivered a brutally honest post, calling out Carlos Silva by name and venting two years’ worth of disappointment.

“Here’s brutal honesty. I love this company. I love Ingrid, I love Spencer, I love Gastineau and all the loyal talent that wave the flag of this company. I get that TNA is getting more exposure than ever because of the Fed. But 2 years I’ve bought into this hype and it’s been a complete letdown. $40 isn’t much. Talent busted their ass for sure. Just would like to see TNA get at least a major win. And @carlossilva you add NOTHING to this. You look like a Temu Shawn Michaels or Tony Khan, and I don’t even watch that other promotion.”

Another user compared the situation to when Kenny Omega held the title and Moose was red hot—yet TNA failed to follow through again.

“Why? Santana hot why not pull the trigger this just like Kenny omega had the belt and moose was hot man keep dropping the ball.”

While Trick Williams might still be champion, fans clearly weren’t feeling the finish—and the backlash isn’t going away anytime soon.
