The TNA Impact television tapings at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, November 15, 2025, began with an in-ring promo from former TNA World Champion Mike Santana, who addressed his title loss to Frankie Kazarian.
Santana, sitting in the ring, told the crowd he was on top of the world after winning the TNA World Championship, a goal he fought for and got to celebrate with his daughter. He noted that just last week, he celebrated 1,000 days of sobriety, but 24 hours later, the title was “snatched from him” following an attack by NXT talent.
Santana assured the crowd he would not “fall off” and had instead gone to a meeting. He vowed to get his revenge and bring the title back home, putting Frankie Kazarian on notice. Santana also addressed the NXT talents who attacked him, stating he is “coming after each and every one of them” and will make them “regret setting foot in TNA”.
The following matches were taped for future episodes of TNA Impact, courtesy of PWInsider.com:
