Nic Nemeth Teases Calling His Shot After Mike Santana Retains World Title at TNA Genesis 2026

TNA Wrestling held their Genesis tonight, and it was a wild night. The Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas hosted the show, and fans saw a violent main event.

The TNA World Championship was on the line in a Texas Death Match, with Mike Santana defending the title against Frankie Kazarian. Nic Nemeth was also involved, serving as the special guest referee for the match.

This was a big night for Mike Santana, because he was defending the title that he just won during the company’s AMC debut on Thursday night.

This main event match saw Santana get a full-on Jey Uso entrance, as he approached the ring through a packed vestibule in the arena and the crowd. Then fans got a close look of the action as the match spilled out onto the floor.

Nic Nemeth followed the two as they battled through the arena, and that included the backstage area. Weapons were also a part of the mix, which was expected. Eventually, the action returned to ringside as Nemeth continued to call the match down the middle.

Tables and a ladder were thrown into the mix. This resulted in a very close near fall as Kazarian suffered a brutal table break spot. Santana didn’t like that call from Nic Nemeth, but the match carried on.

In the end, Santana wrapped his arm in barbed wire and he nailed a Spin The Block to get a pinfall, and then Santana got back on his feet before the 10 count to win the match and retain the TNA World Title.

After the match, Nic Nemeth raised his hand, but he wasn’t a referee anymore. He nailed his finisher and retrieved his trophy to cash in his guaranteed title match. Then Nemeth called for a referee, but Mike Santana took Nemeth out with a Spin The Block before the referee could come down to start the match.

We will have to see what happens next in TNA Wrestling. The company has a lot of momentum going for them right now, and the main event of Genesis certainly brought a lot of action.
