Mike Santana took to social media on Sunday to issue a statement on his main event of TNA Sacrifice being stopped after Steve Maclin was hurt. The TNA World Champion posted to Twitter on Sunday to issue his first public comments on the incident, which saw Maclin get knocked out early into their match at Friday’s TNA+ event. TNA referee Alice Lane stopped the match right away and Maclin was taken to the back to be checked out, while Eddie Edwards came out for a brawl with Santana to close the show.

Santana wrote that he was glad to that Maclin is doing well and is proud of how Lane and TNA handled hte matter. He noted that “freak accidents” happen and all they can do is learn and take new measures to prevent them from happening going forward.

The statement read:

“Needed some time to myself before speaking on this…

Every time I’m getting ready to head out for a match, I always find a corner and take a moment to myself.

I kneel and pray to God to protect me and my opponent. To watch over us as we head out to give the fans an escape and something worth what they pay their hard earned money for.

But as we all know, freak accidents happen that are sometimes out of our control and in the moment. That’s the unfortunate reality of what we do. All we can do is learn from it and take preventative measures moving forward, so that we can avoid making the same mistakes.

I will say, I’m truly proud of how TNA handled the situation, and even more proud of referee Alice Lane. Her elite professionalism and quick thinking saved us. We were truly blessed to have had her out there with us.

I’m glad that Steve is safe and doing well. He’s one of the toughest guys I know and someone I’ve considered a close friend for a long time. At the end of the day, our health and well-being come first and we showed exactly that.

TNA President Carlos Silva has confirmed that fortunately, Maclin did not suffer a concussion.
