Mike Santana is set to throw down with Trick Williams in his second WWE televised match in an attempt to win the TNA Wrestling World Championship.
During Trick Williams' first address as TNA Wrestling World Champion, Mike Santana interrupted him. He didn't take kindly to Williams disrespecting TNA's history and made it clear that he wasn't going to bow to him just because he won a championship. He said he'd seen people like Trick come and go, called him a pretender, dissed his clothing, and said he's a pretend champion.
The challenge was laid down for a match on the June 3 episode of WWE NXT, and it was made official via a video appearance by Santino Marella, TNA's Director of Authority. Trick Williams tried to leave the ring but went to attack Santana and got laid out.
