Frankie Kazarian Captures TNA World Championship After NXT Invasion on Live iMPACT

An arm attack during the run-in left Mike Santana compromised, paving the way for a Call Your Shot cash-in.

Overview

  • WWE NXT wrestlers led by Robert Stone hit the ring, with Brooks Jensen trapping Santana’s arm in a chair before Stone stomped it to cause the injury.
  • Frankie Kazarian immediately cashed in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy, the referee sanctioned the bout, and he won the title by roll-up when Santana couldn’t execute his Spin The Block lariat.
  • Nic Nemeth arrived backstage with the co-won Call Your Shot trophy and was jumped by a hooded attacker moments before the in-ring chaos.
  • The win marks Kazarian’s first TNA world title and completes his Grand Slam in the promotion, following a month-long reign for Santana that began at Bound For Glory over Trick Williams.
  • TNA has announced a Turning Point tag match for Nov. 14: Mike Santana and International Champion Steve Maclin vs. Nic Nemeth and the new TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian.
