Mike Santana Teams With OTM To Defeat DarkState On WWE NXT

TNA World Champion Mike Santana teamed up with OTM to pick up a win over DarkState on this week’s episode of WWE NXT. Tuesday night’s show saw Santana make the trip over from TNA to battle the former NXT Tag Team Champions alongside Bronco Nima and Lucien Price.

The match was the first on tonight’s show and saw Santana and OTM get the win in 11 minutes after Santana caught Saquon Shugars with a Death Valley Driver, then tagged in Price and hit Spin the Block before OTM got the pinfall victory with In the Mud.

You can see highlights from the match below. Santana is coming off TNA Sacrifice, where his match with Steve Maclin was cut short after Maclin was knocked loopy with a superkick. Santana will face Eddie Edwards for the World Championship at TNA Rebellion next month.
