Mike Santana Recalls Reaction To TNA’s Deal With AMC, Lists 2026 Goals

Mike Santana recently revealed his reaction to TNA’s deal with AMC, while also listing his 2026 goals. TNA announced at the start of December that it signed a multi-year deal to air TNA Impact on AMC and AMC+. The deal kicks off with a live episode on January 15th.

That episode is just two days before Santana gets a rematch for the World Title at TNA Genesis. Santana spoke with Sports Jedi Network and spoke about his immediate reaction to the deal and more. You can see the highlights below:

On His Reaction To the TNA-AMC Deal Announcement:

“I mean, it was it was more of a ‘finally, the work paid off. And it’s going to pay off, and finally more people are going to get to see the hard work and dedication that goes into TNA, and that TNA brings to the table. I’ve always said TNA for a long time has been like a hidden gem, right? And a lot of people didn’t have access to it, because it’s not available on a major channel, or this or that. There’s always been something.

“But now there’s no excuse. Now there’s nothing stopping us other than ourselves, right? And I think we’re going into an amazing time and an amazing era, and the fact that more people are going to be able to see everything is insane.”

On His 2026 Goals:

“Of course I will be a two-time TNA World Champion. But overall, I always just try to elevate in every way possible. And my main goal for 2026 is to have it be a bigger year than 2025. I’ve had an amazing run in 2025, I got to accomplish amazing things. And uh I truly believe that 2026 is going to top this year for sure. And I look forward to it, and I’m embracing it and I’m ready to put in the work.”
