Santino Marella Announces Trick Williams vs. Mike Santana For TNA World Title For Next Tuesday's NXT

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.
