Mike Santana Retains as Tna Slammiversary 2026 Packs Six Title Bouts

TNA Slammiversary 2026 put Mike Santana and Nic Nemeth at the center of a six-title-bout card on Sunday, June 28, at Agganis Arena in Boston. The show started at 4 pm ET, after a free pre-show at 3 pm ET, and streamed on TNA+, PPV.com, YouTube, and other providers.

Cody Deaner and Joe Doering

The night opened with a tribute to Joe Doering, who recently died from brain cancer at age 44. After a ten-bell salute, Cody Deaner addressed the crowd without wearing the Home Town Man mask and said, "Loyalty, passion, and strength." He followed with, "This one is for Joe."

Six title bouts at Agganis Arena

Mike Santana defended the TNA World Championship against Nic Nemeth in the main event, giving the card its clearest championship anchor. Cedric Alexander also kept the X-Division Championship in Ultimate X after beating Leon Slater, Frankie Kazarian, Mr. Elegance, Fabian Aichner, KC Navarro, and Amazing Red.

Elayna Black defeated Mara Sade and Indi Hartwell in a three-way match, while Ricky Sosa defeated Eric Young. Traci Brooks introduced the new TNA Knockouts Television Championship, which will be decided in a 16-woman tournament and defended exclusively on Impact. That structure turns the title into a weekly prize rather than a one-night trophy, which gives the company a second track of championship programming outside the PPV.

Mustafa Ali's title path

Mustafa Ali held the TNA International Championship open challenge, and Santino Marella booked the bout as a triple way dance. The field for that match was still being set later in the show, which kept one of the card's title lanes moving even as the rest of the lineup played out inside Agganis Arena in Boston.

The strongest read from the night is simple: TNA Wrestling used Slammiversary as a full-scale showcase, not a single-main-event event. Six title bouts, a live tribute, and a new championship with a 16-woman tournament give the show more than one headline and leave the company with a fresh weekly title to build on Impact.
