Mike Santana Suspended By TNA, Tessa Blanchard Returns To TNA, Another Live Episode Of iMPACT! Planned, Killer Kelly Update
Mike Santana has been suspended for two weeks by order of Santino Marella, as announced on this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT!. Marella, who reaffirmed his role as Director of Authority at Against All Odds 2025, stated that the suspension was due to Santana’s conduct during the First Class Penthouse segment at last Friday’s event.
Santana accepted the suspension but requested a match with AJ Francis upon his return — a request Marella granted. The segment also featured Robert Stone, who attempted to challenge Marella for the Director of Authority role at Against All Odds 2025, trying to enter the building before being escorted out by security at Marella’s command.
Even while suspended, @Santana_Proud showed up looking for @AJFrancis410 but he’ll have to wait two more weeks to get his hands on him! Meanwhile, @MrStoneWWE got himself escorted OUT of the iMPACT Zone! @milanmiracle
