Mike Santana Says He’s Focused On TNA Slammiversary Amid Rumors About His Future

Mike Santana is well aware of the rumors surrounding what’s next for him, but he says he isn’t looking past Slammiversary. The TNA World Champion is reportedly getting interest from WWE, with his contract up in July. Santana spoke with Undisputed ahead of his World Title defense against Nic Nemeth at Sunday’s PPV and was asked about the reports.

Santana noted that he’s focused on preparing to face Nemeth and that he is going one day at a time right now. You can see the highlights below:

On Rumors About His Future:

“I’ve heard the rumors. I’m defending the world title this Sunday in Boston at Slammiversary. That is my focus. Literally all I’ve been thinking about and preparing for is this match against Nic Nemeth.”

On His Approach To Such Rumors:

“I had a great therapist–shout out to Daron–who shared with me that the past doesn’t exist anymore, the future doesn’t exist yet, and that all we have is today. I live that way every day of my life. Before, I dwelled too much on my past and looked too forward into my future. I’ve learned not to overwhelm myself too much with the past or the future. What’s in front of us is what’s most important.”

On His Match At Slammiversary:

“Nic Nemeth and me are going to go after it. Especially with all the transition and changes in TNA, this is the time for us to show what’s most important–it’s all about what happens in the ring. I want people leaving talking about the show and how great it was. Slammiversary, that’s all I’m thinking about. Whatever happens after that happens after that. My focus is Slammiversary.”
